Press any pieced or embroidered block with ease. The density of this high-quality 100% felted wool mat localizes heat to the seams and stitches, effectively pressing both sides at once. An added bonus? The texture of the wool stops fabrics from shifting so there is no distortion when pressing. Tips and Tricks For best results, use a dry iron when pressing. When pressing an embroidered block, iron on the wrong side. The wool mat will cushion the stitches and retain the texture of the embroidery design. If the mat feels damp after use, hang to air-dry before storing. Wash the mat occasionally by rinsing it in cold water and hang the mat until dry. If you choose to use starch, wait to press the fabric until it is completely dry. . Starch build-up can scorch the mat if not cleaned properly. Recommended surfaces for the wool mat include Formica, Corian, stone, and metal (an ironing board). Please use a protective barrier like the No-Stick Applique Sheet TGQ117 between wood or painted surfaces and the Wool Mat. Never place the mat on a rotary cutting mat when pressing. The heat could warp the cutting mat.

Charlotte Q. ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the 1/2-inch thickness being enough, but the density really does localize the heat so my seams flatten perfectly without scorching the fabric underneath.

Isabella ★★★★★

My seams have never laid this flat—the dense wool really does press both sides at once, which saved me so much time on my last quilt. It's hefty enough to stay put on my ironing board, and I love how it handles fussy embroidered blocks without leaving any shine behind.

Olivia D. ★★★★★

The 1/2-inch thickness is no joke—it sits solid on my ironing board and the density really does push heat straight through seams so both sides come out crisp in one pass. My pieced blocks have never laid flatter, and the wool catches just enough steam to set everything without that soggy feel.
