The next innovation in Wool Pressing Mats is here!! Wool Press N Lock Tiles help you put together the size pressing mat you need. These four 10″ x 10″ tiles interlock to create as large or as small of a mat as you’d like. You can connect the tiles of wool pressing mats to make one in the shape you need it, plus it breaks down for easy storage or for travel!
Pressing a long binding to your quilt? Line them up in a row to make a long ironing surface.
Pressing large blocks? Put four together to make a 20″ by 20″ mat perfect for pressing large blocks.
Have a specific size table for pressing? Get the combination you need specific to your workspace. Grab one and put it next to your sewing machine while piecing.
Create a design wall. Another great trick? put the mats on a wall to make an amazing design wall or spray basting surface. Simply use heavy duty 3M tape to hang them. Fabric will “stick” to them or you can easily pin into the surface.
Why is wool so great? Because wool has natural fire resistant properties- it won’t melt, it won’t burn and it retains heat well. Because it is heat resistant it pushes the heat back into your item. That’s why we say it “irons both sides at the same time”. The result is very flat quilt blocks and seams. It holds heat and steam like a brick oven The heat goes all the way through the fibers. It’s not necessary to use steam.
You usually don’t need to use starch, but if you do, the wool pressing mat is felted so it can be easily cleaned by running under cool water and letting it dry. It creates a nice, flat stable surface The mats are ½” thick and a tightly packed 100% felted wool, allowing you to have a nice stable flat surface to iron on. Your items stay put, no sliding. You can line up an edge of your block with your fingers and give a bit of a tug as you pull it square while pressing. Your items won’t slip like they do on a traditional ironing board and it does all this without pinning. No distortion will happen to your blocks as they stay in place while pressing, but you can pin into the mat if you need to hold your item down.
