These wool pressing mats are my hot pick of amazing products since the first of the year! I've been testing them at the last two quilt retreats and have to say, they're worth every penny. Here's the deal - not only do you have a high-quality thick wool mat but it's secured in a heat-resistant silicone tray. What does that mean? You can use a hot iron with steam and not worry about hurting the surface you're working on. For me, it was the 6 foot plastic tables we have at the retreats. And.............it stays in place! No slipping around the tabletop. I know these are pricey so I'm giving you the best pricing I can. I used the large one at the quilt retreat and either would fit next to your sewing machine, depending on your area.
Compact and travel-ready, the 14” x 14” GEasy Wool Pressing Mat and Silicone Tray Combo, designed by Gudrun Erla, is the perfect choice for pressing blocks at retreats, classes, or in tight sewing spaces. The 1/2” thick, 100% wool mat absorbs heat, effectively pressing the fabric from both sides to ensure crisp, flat seams. The texture of the wool stops fabrics from shifting so there is no distortion when pressing. Press with steam, spray starch or mist. Our exclusive heat-resistant silicone tray acts as a heat and moisture barrier, protecting the surface below and catching any condensation. It makes cleanup a breeze: just lift, wipe, and flip.
Added bonus? The silicone tray keeps the mat in place so it doesn't slide when pressing. Built to be reversible and easy to store, it’s the ideal companion for on-the-go quilters or placing next to your sewing machine.
