Precision Quilting Tools 9" x 9" Wool Ironing Mat for Quilting - 100% New Zealand Wool Pressing Pad, Ironing Station Which Retains Heat – Great for Quilting & Sewing Notions!

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 - wouldn't buy it again. I ask a quilter on what she uses and why. I would buy it again!Sandy

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

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.

This is a 24” x 17” thick and dense wool ironing mat that doesn’t smell at all! It is large enough for my sewing projects. I’m very happy with this choice.

fits on top of a wooden tray table to use beside my sewing machine as an ironing station, works exactly as intended.

This is a wonderful product. It is sturdy, durable, and easy to use. It’s large enough to iron quilting pieces but small enough to store easily. Make sure to use a medium heat setting on your iron because too high of a heat will melt the mat. I would definitely buy this product again.

Perfect size for small projects or on the go.

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.

I do like this mat and have been using it for many months. The smell does wear off and it does help with pressing BUT I learned the hard way that occasionally little bits come off and under a hot iron they will burn and cause a black stain on what you are pressing. No one else seems to have mentioned this but my friend has the exact same mat and has the same issues. So we keep our mats covered, when pressing, with a piece of white cotton :)

I bought two of these mats however found that the both the moisture and heat transferred through the mat to the table below. After using for just a few minutes the table below the mat was soaking wet and warm. The mat itself had darkened where the moisture had wicked through the thickness of the wool. I found one mat to be much worse than the other but both were poor quality. I have a smaller mat that I got elsewhere and this does not happen with that one so I know what I should be expecting from a wool mat. I would not recommend this item.

This wool ironing mat has a soft smooth surface. It's a good size for someone with a small working space. I certainly wouldn't want one smaller than the 17" x 24" that I purchased. I used it to block and steam iron small woolen tapestries I had made and it held my pins in place while I was doing so. My pieces were able to dry directly on the mat. It is a dense enough thickness to provide a protective surface on the countertop while applying heat and lightweight enough to move around easily. It air dried quickly and completely afterwards. It is a bit costly and I've never used a wool mat before so I have no basis of comparison with other such products on the marketplace. So far I'm very pleased with this purchase and I look forward to seeing how it holds up after numerous uses.

I bought this several months ago but did not use it until recently. I quilt and have always had issues with pressing seams. I got a better ironing board pad & cover, I bought a great Rowenta iron, still not happy with my seams. Wow this wool pad has changed things. Perfectly flat seams - I wish I’d had one the very first time I ever sewed anything. And it makes stubborn fabric wrinkles disappear. I love it.

I have two of these mat already which are different brands than this one.I bought this one because the size will be convenient for me.All my mats are 1/2 inch thick.But this one is lightly felted and far more squishy. The other two are firmer - more densely felted. It is simply not of the same quality as other ones.
