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’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 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!

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 mat for 2 reasons. One to use on a table in my screen room while wintering in Florida. The second was to use on top of my ironing board when I am back home. So far it has worked out great. I store it under my cutting mat in the RV when not in use. I turn the mat in any direction that suits what I am currently ironing. I can use a large table to support full size quilt and just have the pad under the area, I want to press. Much easier then trying to manipulate a quilt on an ironing board.

Its handy for small projects without having to use a big ironing board. It has a sturdy base and a smooth surface to iron on. I really like its portability. Do not use on porous surfaces, such as wood, because it does sweat and could stain.

I love this so much. I have been using a mat for years, and never thought I would spend the money for a wool mat, as it wouldnt make any difference because it was the iron getting hot, not the mat. Boy was I ever wrong. It makes a world of difference. Every wrinkle or crease comes out so easily on this mat. I recommend this for everyone who needs to press quilting pieces. It is the best item I think I have bought in a really long time. Cuts the time in half! Love it!

I love this! I have it set up on my countertop and for the most part I was able to eliminate the big ironing board from my sewing loft. It’s called an ironing station which I found confusing. I would have liked more information on where and/or how to use it. Because I wanted to put the ironing board away, I ended up purchasing a silicone mat for both the ironing mat and iron which has worked out extremely well.

I have a mall table to press my quilt blocks on and this mat just fits perfectly. It doesnt slide around and I get a good crisp press. I use steam and I have noticed a wool smell from the heat but it isnt very strong as some have said and it isnt offensive. I would highly recommend these mats even tho they are a little pricey. Worth the money. Ive tried to use a couple of different pressing mats and prefer this one.

Had been tempted to buy one of these for a long time, but the price always put me off. I finally succumbed after seeing all the great reviews and Im so glad I did! Wrinkles and creases just seem to vanish and its great to have set up near my machine when Im piecing. Has reduced the pressing time as both sides are done at once. Very pleased with the performance and have found it to be well worth the money.

Ive seen my friends using wool mats and raving about them, so I decided to give it a try. Im super impressed! Ive had some stubborn wrinkles in my quilt squares and when I tried them on this mat (and with a shot of Best Press) they came OUT! I was going to buy a new iron (Rowenta). Nope, dont need a new iron with this mat. It does stink a little, but, eh, so does my husband, and I keep him around.
