I've had the same problem with the smell, and there have been others here too with the same issue. It will go away eventually; the more you keep it open, the sooner it goes away. It's because of the plastic on the cutting side; Sterlite plastic boxes do the same to me.
Also, this mat can come apart with use. And you will get a "speed bump" where the crease is when the mat is folded out. What I mean by a "speed bump" is that the fabric won't be cut there, so watch for it when you are cutting strips. |

Rotary cutters are great for cutting out patterns pieces in slippery fabrics like charmeuse. You don't have to worry about the fabric slithering away from your scissors. You'll probably be ready to upgrade to a larger mat in no time. ;-) |

It's good to know that a foldable cutting mat exists. I have a few that don't fold, and one in particular did have the "weird" odor. It's disappeared with time. |

Yes, weird smell goes away...but wouldn't you think they would see that this is a deterent to purchase and do something about it? Oh well, I LOVE my Olfa mat and I have had it at least 16 years now and it look like new! But I was looking at Fiskars mats Saturday at Joanns and they have some pretty colors now! I am currently in love with lime green again...and there are Fiskars scissors that color as well. OH - and I hope your move goes smoothly - I know that drill very well. And be sure and get whatever you love that reflects culture in your far away land because years later you will treasure those things. :) For example - a set of Shi-Shi dogs for each child! |
