Wool pressing mats retain heat from the iron and press fabric from both above and below simultaneously — producing crisp, flat results significantly faster than standard ironing boards or cotton batting pressing mats. The 22\" x 60\" format accommodates quilt top sections, wide backing cuts, and full-width pressing passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTop 10 Questions About the 22x60 Wool Pressing Mat\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat makes a wool pressing mat better than an ironing board?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eWool retains heat and presses fabric from below as well as above, creating a steam-sandwich effect that sets seams and fabric immediately without repeated pressing passes.
