Review on Pam Damour Decorative Diva Magic Pressing Mat: An Essential Tool for Perfect Results! by Hannah Curi

. I've used the mat about half a dozen times and haven't had any issues with it so far. There was no smell and I didn't have a tan as others have mentioned. Since the pad is wool I use the wool setting on my iron and use a dry iron to see if it compresses my blocks as advertised. I am completely satisfied with the results of dry ironing. I just wish it was a few inches taller. 18" is fine, but it would be better if it was 14x18 as it would fit much better on a 12.5" block.
