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.
Travel smart. Take one or take them all, but them fit nicely in a small box or carry-on for your next sewing adventure. You can even combine tiles with your quilting and sewing friends to make a huge pressing mat at your quilt guild meetings or classes.
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. This allows to have a nice stable flat surface to iron on. Your items stay put, no sliding It does ‘grab’ your blocks and patches as you press—a really big help when you’re pressing blocks into submission. 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. You can pin into the mat though if you need to hold your item down for whatever reason.

Wonder Clips Assorted Colors 50pc
$33.95An assortment of colors for an assortment of uses.Since their introduction primarily for seam binding on quilts, they have been adopted by crafters, beaders, scrapbookers, card makers and every craft where a third hand is needed to hold something down, together or in place. They make a great gift for any crafter or home sewer.
Wonder Clips are perhaps the most versatile and useful sewing tool ever devised. For years sewers have used binder clips, hair pins or even clothes pins for any number of sewing applications where an alternative to pins is desired. The Wonder Clip, designed and manufactured by Clover, is the first clip developed specifically for the needs of today’s sewers, quilters, crafters and beaders.
What does it do? – We are still counting! We’ll let you know when people stop finding new uses.
Sewing – Wonder Clips are a natural for holding together layered sections of fabric during the sewing process. Quilt bindings, hems, piping, seams, etc., all can be held securely in place while sewing. Unlike pins, Wonder Clips do not leave holes in leather, delicate or vinyl/laminate type fabrics. You can easily position appliqué or hold patterns in place while marking or cutting and avoid puckering issues caused by using pins on some fabrics.
Knitting and Crochet – Wonder Clips are a real boon to knitters who are always joining their work at seams . . . side seams, sleeve insertion, sleeve seams etc. For those who crochet life just got a whole lot easier too. Clip all of your intermediate sections together in organized groups until you are ready to join them and then use the Wonder Clips to hold sections together while you attach. If you are beading with your crochet the Wonder Clip can be used to position the beads away from your work until they are needed.
