    I have a small one as I only do 6" blocks! I love it! I use it the same as any other mat under my iron. I make my own "best press' and spray it on the piece I'm gong to iron then place it on the wool mat and happily press it! From what I've read, most all of the people that use them love them!

    I have one and love it. Mine is 13"x13". I mostly use it for when I press my jelly roll rugs centers works great. I don't tend to make blocks bigger then 12", so it works for me.

    I have 3 different sizes and I love them. The smallest goes to class with me and the largest is by my iron.

    I have a question about the smell of the wool pressing mat. I have read that the mats smell like "a barn". Does the smell ever go away?

    I purchased one a year or so ago but it’s still in the package. I guess I need to get it out and try it.

    I have one I use at classes and retreats. I have never noticed a smell..maybe if you get overly wet with spraying fabric.
