Wool Pressing Pad for QuiltingMake quilt piecing easy with The Felt Store’s Wool Ironing Mat. The texture of pressed wool naturally holds fabric in place and minimizes stretching along seams and tricky areas. This pressing pad helps keep strip sets and squares straight while ironing. Wool is a flame resistant material and naturally absorbs heat and distributes it evenly. When ironing this results in a fabric that is being heated and pressed from both sides. The ½” thickness of the Wool Ironing Mat also allows it to function as a design wall for quilting, knitting, embroidery and crocheting projects. It’s easy to block and reorganize your finished pieces by pinning them directly into the pad. Available in a variety of portable sizes and acts as the perfect sewing companion for compact spaces.SpecsContent: 95% New Zealand Wool, 5% Carded Cast-Off.Origin: Made in Canada.Color: Natural Gray.Dimensions: Available in 3 sizes:13 x 13 inches ( 33.02 x 33.02 cm).17 x 17 inches ( 43.2 x 43.2 cm).17 x 24 inches (43.2 x 61 cm).Thickness: 1/2 inch (1.3 cm).Benefits: Portable, keeps fabric in place while ironing, double-sided heat press.Ironing Instructions and Product Care: Wool (150 degrees), when using higher ironing temperatures, we recommend adding a protective sheet over the ironing mat to avoid scorching the wool.
