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!

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

It turns out I dont hate ironing; I just hate my ironing board. Until a month ago, Id never heard of a wool pressing mat, but if I had, I would have considered it an absolutely necessary sewing tool. It sits at the end of my cutting table, with a low profile, and when I need to iron I simply walk to the end of the table and press my fabric. I bought the larger one because I wanted to be able to press dress pieces, and Im glad I did. I havent had any issues with sticking (I saw one review mention that and it made me nervous, but I dont even feel a hint of that), and while there is a slight smell when used for a long period, its barely noticeable and not at all unpleasant. That being said, this thing could smell like a barn and Id still prefer it to my clanky, horrible, giant ironing board. I do wish it had some kind of grippers on the bottom because it does slide around my slick wood table a bit, but its not a big deal and this way its usable on both sides and theres nothing to melt. Other than that, the only thing I wish is that Id known about this years ago.

It is a little flimsy. I was expecting it to be more rigid. I had to iron black pants and they got covered in fuz. I recalled a reviewer’s suggestion to roll the sticky lint roll over the whole surface. I did so but it continues to lose fuz. I then just put my iron straight onto the surface to flatten the fuz and see if that does it. It minimized it but it still has little fuzzies. I just decided to lint roll the pants at the end. I didn’t pay much and this is used for crafting. I’ll use my good ironing board and iron for my garments.

Using this every day for pressing and sewing home made face masks. Odorless. I am using a tea towel on top of it and a plastic table below it as I am using a lot of steam. Absolutely no staining of the tea towel after many many uses. (Some reviewers of other products have noted this as a downside of some similar mats.). Very happy with product and the size I chose for this purpose. I am also using it to lay out fabric for cutting, due to lack of space, but not actually cutting on it.

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 love this mat. I can’t imagine how I did without it for so long. Making my quilt blocks now have a more professional look. Quilters if you don’t have one, get one soon. You might want a larger one, but I have a restricted space so this one is great for me.

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!

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

This mat is just as described. Full 1/2 thick. Some reviews I read said some wool mats smelled bad. This one has no bad odors. Received quickly.

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.
