My mmf tends to have little "pits" in it. It kind of looks like acne scars...do you know what I mean? I dont know if it is from air bubbles or it is too dry, not kneaded well enough?? Do you all know what I mean? I mean it looks fine on the surface where I have rolled it out, but underneath (which will be the surface when it is applied) is where they tend to be. What do you do? I am making an important cake and I just really want it to be nice (for a new potential customer...with money 
) I am just having more trouble with the fondant than usual. I usually have a few "pits" but this time there is just more! Help!
if anyone doesnt know what I mean, go to my photos and look at my pooh cake. click on it again so it enlarges more and you can see them. This time I have more of them though. It is really irritating. I will try kneading it more and letting it rest a little more. I dont think I have anything on the mat, but I will be sure to keep it clean. Thank you all. Any other suggestions?
I know that sometimes clumps of powdered sugar can do that. Try sifting the powdered sugar. I've had this happen too.
I have never flipped my fondant so the top is under and vice versa. As far as the holes are from air. Yes resting will help this.
Well i leave it on my mat and place it on the cake, then peel it off. Do you just pick it up? I see professionals do this on tv, but it seems whenever I try to pick it up it stretches or tears. I suppose maybe you could use the rolling pin method to keep the top the top. What is the best method?
Well anyway I just did my top tier and it is a little better. I kneaded it more, let it sit longer, and I flipped the fondant over before putting it on the cake. Still a few pits but better!
I've learned this on Monday, but have not tried it yet. Buy some vinyl table covering, large enough that when folded in half, it'll cover the entire cake. Roll out in between the flaps, should not stick, lift top flap, cover cake and peel off the rest of cover. I can't wait to try this. Like I'm so done with rolling it around my rolling pin and unrolling to cover the cake.
Hope that helps.

I know that I've had trouble when I've been working with my fondant and little pieces are left on my mat have dried and then I roll a large piece and those little pieces (like crumbs) adhear to it. Could this be your problem?
