Does anyone know if this has to be used on an ironing board, or could I bring it over to the portable tables where I do my marking/basting? I'm asking because sometimes I need to "touch-up" certain areas with an iron, and it's annoying to have to carry the entire quilt top back to my ironing board to do that. Thanks!

EpidendronI have a fold out tv table I put mine on. I have a 12x24 cutting mat next to it. I put it to the right of my sewing machine and I can sew, iron and trim without getting up.

EpidendronI wouldn't put it on anything "good" because the heat and steam do travel through the mat. It's not as hot as the iron, but definitely warm. I put mine on one of the cut and press mats and move it where I want it.

At the risk of being an "echo" to the previous question, I am wondering about the limitations for the surface on which I place this Magic Pressing Mat. I would not think of using it on my oak dining room table (although at times it might be convenient to sew / press there), but I have a portable office table (resin? plastic?) that allows me to vary heights, and I am wondering whether I can use this Magic Mat on that portable table?

If this Magic Pressing Mat is made in USA isn't $7.75 for shipping high, or is it just that I'm used to paying $2.25, $3.50 or free shipping?

I have to say that I'm not inclined to buy anything from this website now that the shipping charges are not clearly shown on the main product page like they used to be. It feels a little sneaky to me.

This looks an awful lot like the insulation/padding used as sound deadening in the trunks of some automobiles. So... does this have any binders or chemicals? Really JUST felted 100% wool? Nothing else? Don't want to breathe the steam from chemicals !!

KarenQuiltsTexasWool can be felted together without binders using soap, friction, and hot water or needles with barbs. The nature of wool is that the hairs can lock together- no binder needed. I’ve seen these and I didn’t detect anything.

I already have the small mat, I am joining the drop to purchase the large one. I love how my fabric doesn't shift when I am ironing with it. My binding is also so much easier to fold and iron while using this. I need to purchase the larger one because the 12 x 18 inch mat won't accomodate a full 12 1/2" block without me having to move it around. I would keep that in mind when deciding what size mat to purchase.

icwilsonI normally place my mat on top of my ironing board. I think if you don’t have anything underneath the steam could reach the table. When I am pressing small pieces, I use a June Tailor pressing board that I got from Joanns. I use that on my table top and then set my wool pressing mat on top of that. That is enough protection for my table top.

I was wondering of those who received this last time, how do you like it? Cannot find any reviews anywhere to see if anyone is satisfied with this pressing mat. Thanks

Lkb1959When I couldn't get it, I bought a 12x12 tile of 1/2" wool felt that I have been using since. All the edges and points are nice and sharp without using my wooden tailor's block. Only problem is that it's not long enough. Jumped on the drop as soon as it became available.

I love it when I use a dry iron. The downside is that the heat will transfer to whatever you have underneath the pad If you have a lot of pressin to do over a short period of time, and if you use steam, whatever is underneath the mat will become moost and warm. I use a heat-resistant silicone pad underneath it and this solved my issues.

I wish the mat was just about an inch bigger. I was ironing 12.5 inch finished blocks over the weekend and had to keep moving the blocks around. 12.5 is a common finished size for a block so I find it kind of odd they didnt make a mat to accomodate that size. I am going to see how well I get along with the current size. I may have to order a 2nd one just to create a larger ironing surface.

flora516that's really a great point... may other product manufacturers who do a 12" size have figured that out and made their products 13" (like my rotating cutting mat)
