More room to spread out. More care in every seam.
When your patchwork starts coming together, a little extra pressing space makes a welcome difference. The ThreadWorks 14 × 18 Wool Pressing Mat is the largest size in our collection, giving you an extended rectangular surface for longer pieced sections, quilt blocks, and everyday sewing.
Set it at your main pressing station and give your work room to lie comfortably. At $44.99, it is just $5 more than the 14 × 14, with four additional inches along one side—useful space when your projects grow beyond a square block.
The wool advantage, with more working room
The felted wool surface retains heat under your project while you press from above, helping seams relax into a flatter finish. Its texture helps keep fabric steady as you work. Combine that support with a longer surface and you have a practical station for projects you want to lay out and press with care.
Put the extra space to work
-
Strip-pieced sections: Arrange manageable lengths of joined strips along the mat's 18-inch side.
-
Larger block assemblies: Spread out units that feel crowded on a smaller square mat.
-
Table runners and patchwork panels: Work through sections with the remaining fabric supported beside the mat.
-
Bag and pouch making: Press panel seams and folded details on pieces that fit the surface.
-
Everyday quilt blocks: Enjoy extra room around smaller blocks as you turn, inspect, and reposition them.
A pressing station worth making space for
Pressing is part of building the project, from setting that first seam to preparing sections for assembly. Having a dedicated surface ready makes it easier to give each stage its attention. Keep this mat where you do your larger pressing work and bring pieces over as they are ready.
The 14 × 18 surface offers 252 square inches of working area, compared with 196 square inches on the 14 × 14. Check your table space and project dimensions to make sure the larger format suits your setup.

Care & everyday use
Spot clean only, reshape if needed, and air dry completely before storing. A wool mat is a pressing surface, not an iron rest: return your hot iron to its proper rest between presses. Heat and moisture can pass through wool, so protect the surface beneath it. Apply starch away from the mat and let treated fabric dry before pressing. Follow the care instructions supplied with your mat.
A quick question before you choose
Can I press a whole quilt or full-width fabric on it?
This mat is intended for blocks and manageable sections. Use a suitably sized pressing board for large fabric cuts or quilt tops, and support any overhanging fabric so its weight does not pull on your work.
