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 researched this product and read many reviews. Not all reviews were great on the web, but I decided to take a chance. VERY glad I did. It is thick, so the surface beneath the pad does not get too hot (I still wouldnt do it on a nice dining table though), and any steam seems to evaporate out nicely. I have mine on a small workshop stand with a particle board top and it works very well. Obviously, its not large enough for pressing clothes - this is for the quilter/sewer.

I’ve been searching for a solution to streamline my sewing room. I came across this felt ironing mat on a search and was intrigued. I have had disappointing encounters with other creative supplies and approached it with some doubt and skepticism. The reviews were promising so I decided to give it a try. I’ve only had it a couple a days, but boy am I impressed! The size is great for ironing and assembling blocks, the surface is smooth and the pad is thick and substantial. My seams have never been so flat! Great investment and addition to my quilting studio!

Stays flat and fabulous and my pieced seams set perfectly. I use both a dry iron and steam. Steam does not affect it, it is porous, so you might want to consider using a small dish towel under it while steaming to protect your table from any moisture. Ive only had slight condensation one time because I was crazy steaming some stubborn seams. Big factor is this thing does not smell. Ive had 2 others and they both smelled even without using any steam. I need to get a larger one and this company will definitely get my business again. I couldnt be happier. It came packaged in a plastic bag with a piece of cardboard to keep it flat, and when not in use, I store it in its orig. packaging.

I borrowed one of these from a friend to help and pressing piecework while quilting. These are amazing. They make such a difference compared to a standard ironing board cover. The seams disappear. It is also very useful when doing appliqué. You can pin directly on the mat and carry the mat to the ironing board. I love the feel of this woman. The thickness is perfect and is very consistent material throughout. Highly recommend this for any sewing projects. Wish I had known about it sooner!

Since I started sewing, I need to iron a lot of fabrics. I have purchased few cheap ironing mats over the past 2 years, travel size, I place it over a kitchen cutting board and use valcore to secure it. Came across this wool ironing mat from instagram and it seems like a thing to try since I need to iron on a daily basis. It was more costly than my budget, however it was well worth it. Everything iron quickly now. Simple ! So very glad I made the purchase.

Didn’t use very often but when I started using regularly it left a buildup on my iron. The build up was black and could not be removed. I’m thinking maybe glue in the pad fibers. Would not recommend.

This is the first time Ive used a wool ironing mat. Ive been sewing for several years and never owned one. But, this is a game changer when pressing quilt pieces or other seams open. Ive read the other reviews about the steam going through mat. I use this mat on my cutting mat and have no problems. The 17 x 17 is the perfect size for any size sewing room.

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.

Have been using this while quilting and love it. It is true that the heat stays in while pressing and love that you can see yourself in a little corner with sewing machine and iron. Loved it so much, I got one for all 3 of my sisters.

Thank you. This is a great mat. Perfect for my portable and full ironing board.
