ahh your cutting mat sounds like such a good one but amazon france doesn't have it and also it's in inches not cm :( i would have purchased immediately otherwise I've been lost in a sea of mats for months there are too many options hard to know what's worth the money! about the size I'm wondering if 24 inches by 36 inches like you have is big enough for everything or do you find yourself wishing you had a bigger ones for certain types of project ? I'm thinking about pants and long dresses for example
