Never heard of a wool pressing pad. Does it work better for pressing quilt blocks better than a plain everyday ironing board?

Geri B, supposedly, the 100% wool absorbs the heat so when you press on the top, you are also pressing the underneath of the block at the same time!

Geri B... the ones that are 1/2" thick are Not 100% wool. You need a pure wool mat to do the job correctly and not scorch from artificial fibers that may be in it.
