Vallenwood's 13.5x13.5 Wool Pressing Mat Plus: Includes 2 Heat Pens for Quilters. 100% New Zealand Ironing – Perfect for Travel, Quilting, and Crafts. Portable Heat Press Iron Craft Solution. Review

Updated to say the company that contacted me was very polite and said they would replace. I'll change my rating as soon as I see how it's resolved. It melted all over my blanket. My iron has only been on for a minute, not even warmed up on cotton. It doesn't melt in wool mode, but it doesn't flatten my cotton either.

I love the comfort of the carpet. He also makes neat stitches for my quilt blocks. I was just a little disappointed that the surface underneath got quite wet while vaping. I put a large piece of heavy plexiglass underneath to keep my desk dry. It didn't damage the plexiglass, but it was quite damp. I'm not sure what to put underneath to support this.

I like wool carpets and balls of wool. The press mat is as described except that it has an unpleasant odor when hot. This is not a typical warm wool smell. The smell doesn't bother you when you use it, but it repels a bit. What surprised me were the wonderful dryer balls! I didn't expect them to work like this! Laundry is softer and fluffier than it has ever been in my 50+ years of laundering. And I don't have that horrible dryer smell! I love these balls!

I like that the name of this product confirms the outrageous price of other similar products. Why is everyone else $25+? The quality of it is really good. I actually had to return it because I didn't measure it properly for my use (pillow to protect my car seat from the wheels of my work bag) and I'll be stuck buying a more expensive 13x17 pillow from another company. but I wanted to leave this review for those interested in the overall quality. This is a perfectly thin thick dense wool felt.

I bought this will be a prize during our all day Valor Quilting where we sew quilts for veterans. I have one that I use and love, although I have a larger one and it's not from this company. But I bought this rug because of the price. Great price for a wool rug and the perfect size to sit on a table next to a sewing machine and iron the details with a mini iron. It retains heat and both sides feel well pressed. The lady who won this loved it, she had never had this before. I hope it worked out…

I sew and embroider. This rug is big enough for all of my projects that need ironing with whatever iron I need to use, from a mini iron to my full size iron. It works for docking and iron on stabilizer and everything in between. Free dryer balls included with the mat reduce drying time. Occasionally they end up in the crease zone because they're hidden in a garment that's taken out of the dryer, but this slight deterioration is more than compensated for by not using fabric softener and/or dryer
