The 12mm thick fabric provides effective and safe protection for ironing work. Do not leave the iron on the pressing mat for long periods; use a medium-heat iron for best results and a maximum temperature of 230C. Do not wash. The wool mat will hold your fabric in place and projects can be pinned into the pad for easy blocking. Stretching is minimised for accurate pressing and flat seams are achieved in less time. Also, a great product when working with multiple layers of material. Great for blocking. As pins slot easily into the mat, they can also be used for macrame, lace work, blocking, knitting and braiding projects. Made from 100% wool, a naturally fire-resistant and heat-absorbent material so you don't have to worry about the heat from the other side causing damage to the surface. You might notice a wool smell which will fade the more you use the mat. Perfect for quilting, crafting, embroidery, sewing, patchwork, appliqué, garment processing, classes and more! Use on tabletops, ironing boards and almost any other surface. It is compact and can be easily placed in a sewing machine bag or suitcase.
