I sewed another batch of the triangle squares and then decided I had to start pressing them. I fingernail press them when I'm done sewing and then take them to the iron for a final press. I pressed 382 of them and there are another 114 waiting to be pressed.
This is the last batch of print triangles and there are one, two, or four of each. I need to cut some more low volume prints to pair with them.
Im also debating about purchasing a wool pressing mat. Some are so much less expensive than others which indicates quality of mats must fluctuate wildly. Suggestions? Thanks
You and I use the same iron! I like my wool pressing mat but it does need to have a "steam proof" layer underneath so the steam doesn't damage the surface (ask me how I know).
Your assembly line technique has always facinated me with your stitching blocks together. Whether it's your triangles, hearts, stars, etc.
I'm happy to read from your commenters about WOOL pressing mats. How long have they been on the market ? I'm sure I would benefit using one for my tailoring also.
Oh what fun--I love ironing...but that is a lot to press for sure...

That is a lot of pressing! I see you have one of those wool pressing mats - how do you like it? Do you find that you get a flatter seam?
