Precision Quilting Tools 17" x 17" Wool Ironing Mat for Quilting - 100% New Zealand Wool Pressing Pad, Ironing Station Which Retains Heat – Great for Quilting & Sewing Notions!

I love the wool ironing pads. I’m a quilter and deal with small (sometimes really tiny) pieces of fabric that need to be pressed quickly. Hardly worth getting out the ginormous ironing board and iron. So imagine my surprise when I found these wool ironing pads. They are the perfect size for small quick jobs. I purchased my first one about 3 years ago, it’s 13” x 18”, and 3/4” thick. I used it constantly. So much so that decided I need a new one. So I purchased this one. However, it’s not as durable as my old one or as dense. It measures 13.5” x 17” and 1/2 thick. Plus you can barely stick a straight pin into the old one because it’s so dense. Whereas a straight pin sticks in easily. I like the new one, but since I use my desk to place the pad on, I’m uneasy about using the new one by itself. I don’t think it’s thick or dense enough to use alone so I place it on top of the old one when I need to iron something, then under the old one to keep it from getting worn like the old one.Overall, I’m ok with the new one. But you might want to consider using 2 just to make sure the heat of the iron will not penetrate through to the surface you’re using. Just a word to users, in case you don’t already know, do NOT use your self-healing cutting board under the ironing pad. The heat from your iron will absolutely damage your cutting board and cannot be repaired.I recommend this wool pad, but consider buying 2 for the extra protection.

I have several sizes that I use for ironingI always use them to set my sewing machines on so it won't scratch my tables

Like this very much. I am using it for quilting.

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

My friend has one. I Didn’t know they existed.Much needed item👍

Was just what I needed

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.

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

Works well for ironing my quilting pieces. Fits my small space

Great product, exactly as advertised. Most true wool gets a lil stinky when wet so if you use a steam iron of course you're gonna smell wet sheep lol that being said, i have to fight my cat for it, she likes it just as much as i do!

Bought it for our child to use it for Montessori pin push activities. Works perfect

The pad is little thinner than others I have looked at but it works well.

As expected
