Precision Quilting Tools 17 x 24 Wool Ironing Mat for Quilting - 100% New Zealand Wool Pressing Pad, Ironing Station Which Retains Heat – Great for Quilting & Sewing Notions!

I have several sizes that I use for ironing I always use them to set my sewing machines on so it wont scratch my tables

I found that it works great, no smell after using. This brand was recommend, to me by a quilter. After reading a lot of comments about other mats - it sticks - poor quilty - wouldnt buy it again. I ask a quilter on what she uses and why. I would buy it again!Sandy

I bought it because I wanted a high quality ironing mat. Its very smelly at the beginning, I felt like I had many sheep in my room.... After a month of using, its better now. Hope it holds well because its expensive.

I purchased this mat with some skepticism, thinking it might be another quilting fad gizmo that may or may not live up to the hype. I did research online options, found this one to be the best value for size and price out there. When it arrived I was impressed with the quality of the felted wool and the smoothness of the surface. After using it a few times, I am even more impressed. Enough so that I am looking to purchase another one, in a smaller size, to have right at my side when I am piecing quilt blocks. I use the large one on my big ironing board and find it really great for pressing pieced borders, large blocks (>12), and machine embroideries. I am in love with this mat!

LOOKS great. A quilting and embroidery friend swears by hers. It is a really good size for me. I like the New Zealand Wool - after reading up on it - not smelly. I did see there is one that is even a bigger size 24x60 - could do a good portion of a quilt. I will check that size out I have had experience using this one for a time. You cannot use the wool with steam - it holds the water. But I am good with that.

I bought this wool mat to replace a Steady Betty I purchased to press quilt-as-you-go blocks. I was not happy with the foam surface on the Steady Betty and while it is great to hold quilt block pieces to see how they work together, the foam is such that it is not suitable as an ironing surface (we felt it might melt). I love this small 13.5 square wool mat. It is perfect to use with my miniature iron to press quilt-as-as you blocks.

I’ve made dozens and dozens and dozens of quilts. Everyone in my family, kids and spouses, grandkids and spouses, sleep under quilts I have made. Rarely does something come along that really helps you take a leap forward (think rotary cutter), but this little mat does! I just got the mat about half way through a queen size log cabin quilt, so I was able to compare the earlier pressing to the pressing with the mat. The difference is unbelievable! I use Mary Ellen’s Best Press (yet another leap forward product you can purchase on Amazon) on my blocks, so I cover the mat with an old cotton sheet to protect it. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with this pressing aid.

I bought this size to make a small ironing station next to my machine as I was piecing log cabin blocks. It worked perfectly...I pressed each piece after sewing and misted, pressed and weighted each block when completed. I was very pleased with the results. This size fits nicely on a small, adjustable Lifetime table. If you are using steam, do not place it on wood, unless you protect the wood surface. I plan to use this often in our RV.

Love my new Mat. Pressing my material so nice. I put it on the table next to my sewing machine Was able to take my ironing board out of my sewing room which made more room for me to sew and move about
