Description
The Wool Pressing Mat 17in x 24in x 1/2in Thick is a must-have pressing surface for quilters, sewists, and embroiderers who want perfectly flat seams and professional results.
Made from 100% felted wool, this high-density mat absorbs and reflects heat back into your project, allowing seams and stitches to press cleanly on both sides at once. The natural texture of wool grips fabric gently, preventing shifting and distortion while pressing—especially important for pieced quilt blocks and detailed embroidery.
Ideal for piecing, embroidery, appliqué, and block construction, this pressing mat delivers crisp results while protecting delicate stitches and fabrics. Its generous size provides ample workspace, and the 1/2" thickness offers excellent cushioning and heat retention.
