I was so excited to get my magic mat. After watching the video I thought this is the best idea ever. Well....the first time I used it on my big shot, it warped. Not sure why. Watched video over and I did exactly what I was suppose to do. It also did not cut as well as the video showed, although the video did not use an intricate die. Sure, a square or tag is fine but not so well with an intricate die. You definitely still have to use the precision base plate for the intricate dies. Happy I got it on sale. Not worth the full price. Also to thin to use on some die cutting machines especially the electric ones. In my opinion it was made for the big shot. So if you are going to buy, don't buy it for any machine but the big shot and be aware it can warp.
Update: So I wanted to add that I put my heat tool to it and I was able to get the warping out. With the use of heat, I flatten the mat again. That made me happy. So I feel better. So if you experience warping issues that is a great way to fix it. You can not do that with regular cutting plates when they warp. I am raising my stars and will use for dies that are not intricate. I want to try on my electric machine but I am afraid to, plus it is much thinner then my cutting plates for my electric machine so it probably wont work. If I decide to experiment I will update you.
I have to say I used the livin' daylights out of mine this week and it works like a charm in my Gemini Jr with the plates shown in the video. Also, after it warped, I just heated it with my heat gun until it was nice and floppy and it flattened right out!
My prefer die-cutting machine is a Spellbinder's Platinum 6. It's about 4 years old and I use it daily. After a few tests with word dies and intricate Spellbinder's dies I fell in love. I do have a cardstock shim under the Magic Mat. It's just like anything else, it takes trial and error to get the kinks worked out. But man do I love not having any fuzzy pieces on my die cuts anymore. That's amazing! And the mat doesn't warp or buckle.
When I first saw the ad for this cutting pad, I thought it was a good idea. Now that I have one, I can tell you it is a game changer! I replaced my bottom plate with the pad and my die cuts are perfect and there is no "cracking" as the die goes through my Big Shot.
This is a great idea but it needs work. I’m using this with my Sizzix Big Kick and the platform.... doesn’t cut entirely. I’ve tried it with a cardstock shim, without the shim, die facing up and facing down.
This mat is amazing. Actually, it’s better than amazing but I can’t find another adjective at the moment. My thinnest dies (Lawn Fawn box cards) do not come out with any signs of warping. And it’s so smooth going through my Vagabond. And it’s fantastic with one of my finely detailed die that I’ve tested.
I LOVE it when a new-to-market product exceeds my dreams. IF YOU ARE A DIE CUT MANIAC YOU MUST GET THIS!!
This mat is truly a “Magic Mat”. Die cutting is a breeze and less weeding when using intricate die cuts. Tried it with embossing folder also and get great results. Absolutely love it!
I purchased both the standard and extended Magic Mats. So far they are holding up as advertised. I have purchased countless regular cutting pads in the past, and no matter how careful they are handled, they need replacing far too soon. Definitely worth getting.
These mats are GREAT! I use mine with a cardstock shim. I love that there's not all the noise that come along with the normal mats. And the softer, self-healing nature of these mats have got to be better on the dies. So happy these came out!
I received my Magic Mat this week and have used it a lot on my FSJ Amaze (Platinum) die cutting machine. I’m happy to say it really works as advertised! The mat has not warped at all. It’s nice not to hear that cracking noise when I die cut. It handles most intricate does well - I did need to add a cardstock shim on some very thin, intricate dies, but I usually need to do that with conventional plates, too. I use a baby wipe to clean off any tiny bits of paper residue stuck in the mat. It also worked on my Gemini Jr, but I had to add the metal shim and three cardstock shims (I probably won’t use it with that machine). The only negative thing I can say is that it definitely has a strong smell to it - kind of like rubber. I’m sure that will go away after a while.

Will you have a mat that is compatible with the larger Spellbinders platform 8.5 x 12?

Has anyone tried to use the magic mat with an Anna Griffin Empress die cutting machine. I've checked all the measurments and it seems like it would fit. Just wondering if anyone has actually used it in an Empress.

You could always try out the Magic Mat by replacing one of the plates in the Empress.

I heard that using a self healing cutting mat can DEcrease the sharpness of your dies? Has your mat been tested for a long time to see if this happens to the dies? Thank you.

People have been using self healing mats in their due cutting machines for many years. It does not effect the longevity of the dies. Go on YouTube and look for a video regarding this topic and it will help you to learn more about using the self healing mat & dies.
Can you use two magic mats at one time instead of the plates?

Yes, we have tested this and it does work! We would encourage experimentation with your machine and craft supplies!

I know that this is self-healing, but if you are doing a lot of die-cutting back to back will it leave marks on the paper? That's my main problem with plastic plates is that the cut lines leave indentations in my project.

I've never had any paper residue come off onto my next cutting. I made a lot of Christmas cards and if you might, turn it over. I have a long one for my Big Kick so I've just turned it around and after it warping in the Gemini, I also turned it over. I've cleaned mine by spritzing a little water and brushing with a toothbrush, then dry off with a cloth.

My Gemini Junior plates are 6 inches wide will this one work in Junior?

I bought a Gemini this summer. The top plate warped so badly the first time I used it. I kept using but it ended up to where it wouldn't even go through the machine. I straightened it a little by laying it in a cookie sheet and adding boiling water then sitting two cast iron pots on top. Still ruined so bought a new one. They come one to a pack, expensive to continue replacing.
Can I use 2 of these for my Gemini and my Gemini Jr instead of the 2 clear plastic plates?

How do you clean the Magic Mat? I know it's self healing but there seems to be paper left in the cuts.

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but I clean the areas on the Olfa cutting mat that I use for fabric with an eraser. It removes all of the fabric fibers that have gotten stuck in the mat. I have had the mat that I use with a rotary cutter for over 20 years and it is still in wonderful shape. An eraser might work with Magic Mat. It's certainly worth a try.
