Terrific Tool Thursday: Ironing Mat

 This week's Terrific Tool is one that I use almost every day. It's also something that I didn't even know I needed until I had it! It's an Ironing Mat made by Bo Nach. It's a bit thicker than most mats with the added benefit of being perforated, but still see-thru. The mat works great for appliqué. I use it to protect my iron from interfacing. It allows steam to penetrate because of the holes. I use steam with this mat on interfacing that calls for a damp pressing cloth. If you're local, I've spied these at both Village Fabric Shop and Sew Original.xo LC
