Answers
 
Are June Tailor cutting mats self-healing?
 
June Tailor cutting mats are hard surface for superior durability. Soft-top surface mats were intended to conceal cut marks. However, this soft upper surface traps fabric and batting fibers in the cuts, causing shredding and premature mat failure. June Tailor cutting mats are hard surface mats which means it is not necessary to use excessive pressure when cutting through your fabric. Your rotary cutter blade rides on top of the cutting mat and is not intended to cut into the plastic as you do with a soft surface mat.

Will my rotary cutter blade dull faster with a hard surface mat?
 
June Tailor cutting mats do not allow the rotary cutter blade to cut as deeply into the mats during normal use. Consequently, this extends the life of your rotary cutter blade.

Will I maintain accuracy in cutting on a June Tailor cutting mat?
 

June Tailor cutting mats maintain better cutting accuracy because your rotary cutter blade does not cut into the plastic mat. Soft surface mats allow the blade to cut deeper into the mat, thereby stretching the fabric by forcing it down into the cut. This is especially critical when cutting small pieces.
