It's good to see you. Great tutorial, no problem with the mat. Glad nothing happened to either iron, as well. It's terrible what happened to the other lady. Thank you for sharing.
That's nice that you did a test on it. I saw a lot of people were planning to use it at retreats and it would be a bummer if it wrecked your iron while away from home.
I do like this mat, cutting board item. It is great for FPP. I do use mini iron for FPP. Works great for that. I think it would be great for blocks that require ironing between each step like log cabin or courthouse steps but would use mini iron because space is small.
The steam switch seems to be a big problem for Oliso irons. I've had 3 irons that have had this problem. Oliso has replaced the irons under warranty. Now I just leave the steam on and avoid moving the switch back and forth.
What part did the person say melted? Maybe they used it incorrectly. I have a similar product and have never had an issue. Glad you experimented on camera to quell some fears.
I think it is made to use mini irons on it, not full size. That is what I take away from this. If you're really afraid, use it as a portable design mat and cutting mat.
glad you did this video! I wanted to use mine too. My Oliso broke too and I don't plan on getting another one.
Glad I could help! Hope Oliso comes up with a better steam system because the iron is cool... Itbis a pity...
Thank you for the video. I’m so glad it didn’t melt… and I’m anxious to try mine now!
You are so welcome! Let us know how it went!

It is a pity, yes. Good to see you too, dear. ❤

@joyskibo856 Yes, I press all my seams while making a block. This mat with the mini iron is helpful!

That is a good idea. This is my second, as the first one also had the same problem under warranty. It is a pity because this iron system is cool...
I had to reglue the cutting mat with E6000,because the glue was poor quality.
Oh, what a pity! Did it work? Mine is good for now...
❤❤❤❤
Is it wool or some sort of synthetic fabric? I glad to see it worked well .
Hello, Linda! I thinknitbis felted wool, but I have to check again. ❤

Maybe she left the iron too much time on the mat? Maybe it was a faulty one...
I am very happy this works as I plan to use it this year! 🎉
My Oliso iron broke too. Not buying another one. Mat looks good to me.
Oh dear, it seems like this is happening to some of us as per the comments... It is a pity...

@wayfarinstranger2444 I will use my mini iron on it, too. That makes sense!
Missouri star is telling people that it has polyester in the mat. It is not wool. Just be careful using it over time.😊❤
Hi Sharon! I am trying to find in the groups that information, but I am unable to do so. Can you share the link? Thanks! ❤
@ one was from Bland Designs and the Idiot Quilter. I watched them on Sunday January 5, 2025. It aired here in the USA at 4pm. They are in Canada.
@sharonspencer6486 Thank you!❤️
Sew the distance also showed her mat and it scorched from her iron.
Probaby work better as a design board.
