The main purpose of a wool pressing mat is to provide a firm and heat-absorbent surface for pressing fabrics. When heat and steam are applied to the fabric on top of the mat, the wool absorbs and retains both, resulting in faster and more effective pressing.In addition to preventing distortion, a wool pressing mat also helps to distribute heat evenly across the fabric. This ensures that every part of the fabric receives the same amount of heat, resulting in consistent and professional-looking results.Wool pressing mats are versatile and can be used for various types of fabric, including cotton, linen, wool, silk, and synthetic materials. They are also suitable for various ironing techniques, such as appliqué, embroidery, and quilting.After use, store your wool pressing mat flat or rolled up to maintain its shape and prolong its lifespan.
