Stabilizes the quilt block....no distortion!
absorbs the heat from the iron..steam or no steam. Set iron on Wool...not as hot as cotton. The wool will scorch if set hotter than wool setting btw.
excellent for pressing hand or machine embroidery projects.
Seams press flat!

I picked up a white felted wool fat quarter at the LQS for pressing and it works great. I heard about using wool in a workshop. What happens is when pressing off grain HST's or other seams, the fabric seam kind of buries itself into the wool and it doesn't stretch it out of shape.

I purchased a Wool Felted Mat about a month ago. Does anyone notice their wool mat having a rather 'earthy smell' like an animal?? LOL I'm seriously not kidding! Mine seems to smell more like an unwashed animal ... I do have a very sensitive sense of smell... but.....
Before I contact the website where I purchased it, I wanted to know if anyone else has noticed a rather odd smell about the wool mats or is it just my overly sensitive sense of smell?? thank you

I have two a lg n a sm. No smell with either one. Love the way my blocks look after pressing. My iron broke and I splurged on the oliso pro in yellow then I saw it was coming out in purple. I like it. A little heavy but then I had an old black n Decker for 30 yr
