    Need recommend: microfiber cutting pads for DA

    I've been using Meg's microfiber cutting pads for the past few years. Meg's system has been working mostly fine to me (cuts well), but because they almost have no foam backing, I do find they are quite difficult for panels with any curves or contours. I am not quite up to date, but wonder if...
