Precision Fusing Mat (12" x 18") Includes Non-Slip mat with See-Through Design for Appliqué Creation, and Bonus Teflon Coated Pressing Sheet!

This item's size was listed as being the same as my project, which would have been ideal, but the green border around it reduces the visual space. I didn't like the grid lines because they made it more difficult to see through than the Teflon sheet I had previously used. All of the other large-size sheets that were available appeared to be buff in color. I decided to buy this one because I thought those would be difficult to see through. Even though I was using a vinyl sheet with the pattern traced on it over the top to help with placement, it was important to see through the sheet for proper placement of the quilt pieces because the project I was working on was a bit intricate (horse head with flowing mane). I have put all the pieces together but have not actually ironed them on so I can't review that, though having the additional Teflon sheet to place over the top might be very useful since a little bit of the fusible webbing ended up on the top of one or two pieces, so the protectio So, it worked well enough for my needs; it would have been even better if it had been a little wider or didn't have the border around it, but it was nice because it's heavy and doesn't slide around on your project. br>br>Wanted to add some pictures. There's a photo of my old mat and the new Precision Mat next to each other. In the photo, I don't think you can see the grid line very well. I didn't think the grid lines were necessary for my purposes. They irritated me, but they might appeal to others. You should be able to see through the mat well enough if you're working in good lighting. The other photo shows my project after it had been fused together but before I had taken it off the mat. It was simple to get rid of. This mat is nice (now that I'm used to it), it stays in place, and I'll probably use it for other projects in the future.

Small pieces are held in place very well by the silicon layer on the bottom. The upper sheet protects the iron from any adhesives once everything is in the right place. Excess adhesives (such as those used for Steam and Seam) can be easily removed with a few fingernail flicks once the job is completed. Because of its 17" x 24" size, it fits perfectly on our wool ironing mat, making this an excellent set for classroom use. This purchase has made me very happy.

The Precision Fusing Mat fulfilled all of my expectations and then some. For me, the see-through tracing design feature was a plus, as was the size and inclusion of a Teflon sheet. Raw edge applique is one of my favorite techniques, and this mat made it a whole lot easier.

After watching a video for a similar product that cost twice as much, I decided to buy it. So I decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad I took the chance. It greatly simplifies the process of making fusible applique. Pieces can be fused together and then peeled off the mat without affecting the adhesive. It is possible to see the mat. so you can place your applique assembly diagram under the mat and build your pieces without having to guess. To use over your applique, the mat includes a thick Teflon pressing sheet. This keeps your iron from becoming clogged and protects delicate fabrics from scorching. It significantly shortened my assembly time, and my applique now adheres perfectly to the base fabric, even after multiple applications of heat to my applique pieces. This is a product that I wholeheartedly endorse.

After that, I decided to purchase one, and WOW! I would highly recommend this mat to anyone who enjoys making appliques or even putting on patches because it makes it so much easier and faster without the worry of getting glue on your iron and ironing board.

For printing purposes, I followed their instructions. I was a huge winner. There will be no jamming. The copies were in excellent condition. There was one page that was slightly crooked when it was inserted. It had a minor flaw, but I was able to straighten it out before it became stuck. Smudging occurred, but it had no effect on the quality of the area I needed for my appliqué. Using the printer wastes paper, but it's ideal for intricate patterns. I saved all of my patterns for those. I had some fusible paper on hand that I could use to trace the simple designs. It's convenient to have both on hand.

I like how heavy the mat is and how large it is (17" x 24"). It is placed on top of a pattern and does not move while I fuse the applique pieces together. Because it fits my wool pressing pad, I purchased the larger size mat. When I'm trying to see small details on the pattern, it's still not as clear as I'd like, but it's a lot better than my previous applique sheet, which I've had for a while, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone doing raw edge applique.

This mat is a fantastic addition to the raw edge applique tools I have. I can now build designs that overlap without worrying about them moving on the way to the ironing board, and I also use it with my lightbox, which makes applique designs much easier to work with. Exceptional applique mat at a reasonable price. br>,.
