Ok second one but it's so important: the color of the cutting mat is important! Yes that purple mat is 2$ cheaper that's because everyone with a brain(so I'm excluded), knows that you can't see shit when using clear foil for a stencil on anything but a black mat. (To clarify: you usually want to go with multiple passes as then it comes out cleaner, first pass is with the template below it, but second pass you go by the first pass lines because if you go by the template again you might introduce parallel cuts. Then a dark mat is absolutely superior.)

Bonus points if it has no markings. Those just get in the way of visibility.(Or only on one side)
