This is a question to the people who have used this in their Silhouette machine. Do you have trouble getting the backing off the cutting mat?

No. I use the low tack cutting mat and have not any any problems with the backing sheet sticking to the cutting mat.

Personally if I'm not clipping right onto the board I have cleared the sheathing on the grounding wire for my mat to clip to. I just pulled the sheathing back at the mat end about 1/8". Just enough to get the clip on. Then the sheathing slides right back into place for normal use of the mat. Hope this is helpful, either way this is the most comfortable and convenient anti static wrist strap I've ever had.

I use it on my counter top a LOT, and that's a Formica countertop, it's thick, and it hasn't damaged the countertop, I use it to press fabric before I cut it out, and the cutting mat is on a countertop next to where I use the ironing pad.

Do you use it on the mat or are you trying to just put it in the machine. If you are using the mat it should stick on the mat and you should not have a problem

Yes, put the vinyl on the cutting mat before cutting and then put on the transfer tape. I also looked on you tube to check the settings for my cutting machine.

I have used my rotary cutter on the mat many times and can rub my hand over the mat and not feel any rough areas where I have made cuts. Keep in mind that I only have had it for less than a year and I do not sew everyday but what time I have used it it seems to work very well in answer to your question.

I would stay away from this paper cutter. I don't even use mine anymore..I couldn't aline the paper exactly where I wanted to make my cut. The cutter itself is out of square. So i had to manually align my paper under the blade which i dont mind but u have to look at cutter on the side to align the paper instead of being able to align it looking striaght down at the cutter my cuts were never striaght

I would say most definitely. The rotary cutter is sharp and the mat is self healing. Other mats would have slices in them from the rotary cutter. You can use the rotary cutter to cut out patterns instead of scissors. I wouldn't attempt using any other cutting mat.

I just bought the machine this weekend and tried cutting the vinyl and it works but I had used some masking tape to hold it down to the cutting mat

You can cut this with regular scissors. Also with an exacto knife, paper cutter--I don't know what a silhouette machine is. You would need a good pair of scissors, like you would use for sewing.

I have never been ablet to keep the blades out of the bread........on this machine.My 2 previous machines never had that problem.. only this one.. don't know why..... just plan to dig them out ...

I haven't had any problems, but I use this mat for rolling dough/pastry only. I have separate SilPats for cooking. The only thing I try to be very careful with is using any sort of scraper on the mat. It would ruin it if the surface got scratched/cut up.

I don't have that problem. I suspect that the blade cover (housing) is not properly inserted into machine. The gap between blade and blade cover is pretty small such that only minimal debris is collected. That has been my experience.

For all answers regarding this software you can go to www.uscutter.com I looked on the package and it didn't say. I found I don't use it since the software that came with my Silhouette does what I need it to do. Wasted my money. May not be the case for you if you have a different cutter.

I am not sure of the problem you are describing. If your treadmill is moving quite vigorously because the floor is incredibly uneven, such that moving the arms back and forth causes the machine to move side to side or front to back, then I am not sure this mat will solve the problem. If the problem is merely that the machine is slipping to and fro on the floor (such as because the floor is slanted one way or is incredibly slick), then I think the mat would solve that problem.

I would always use a cutting mat with this to avoid hurting any surface under the fabric. I certainly think granite would hurt the cutting edge of this tool, but am not sure.

I folded mine, and it worked great, but sorry I can't answer that question. It is a very good mat; and I recommend it. I have never tried to cut it so I just don't know.
