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!

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.

This is the first time I have used a wool mat and I am very glad I chose this one. Of course when you use steam, it is going to smell a bit, but it just smells like wool - not any different than steaming wool clothes. When used with a wooden clapper, seams are flat, flat, flat! Love it.

So far this has been a welcome addition to my adventures with quilting. Small, but so handy. Just large enough of me to set up and press squares instead of setting up my huge ironing board. So glad I purchased it.

Love this wool ironing mat, it really makes crisp pleats in pants, is so helpful when pressing patchwork for quilting.

A smaller surface for small pressing jobs. Works great on a table top.

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.

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 really love this wool ironing mat for piecing for quilts and currently for making face masks. It is lightweight but sturdy. I use it on top on my small tabletop ironing board and it is perfect. Absorbs the heat and really helps make the seams flat. So glad to find on Amazon after seeing an ad somewhere else. Came quickly!!

I have debated getting one of these, wondering if it was just another gimmick. The size of this one appealed to me as I have a small home/sewing area and this would fit great in space available. Tried it as soon as it arrived and i love it. The seams in my blocks pressed just beautifully. I noticed a great improvement with this as opposed to the ironing board. I will be recommending this to all my quilting friends.

I bought this to replace a woolen mat by another company that smells like rotten food after using steam one time. For that other brand I tried washing leaving out in the sun and letting it dry out for months but it still infected the things I was ironing with a horrible smell. I got this one, have use light steam, and have not noticed any problem. There is an odor of wet wool (like when you wash a sweater) that goes away when it dries and that does not infect the things you are ironing. There is no residue on my iron, so it must really be 100% wool.
