The mat presses the seam from underneath while your iron works from the top. The clapper sets it once the steam is in, so it stays flat after it cools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy these two belong together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure wool holds heat. When you press down with your iron, the mat sends that heat back up from underneath, so the seam is pressed from both sides in one pass, and the dense wool grips the fabric so the block stays where you put it. Then the clapper finishes the job: steam the seam, press the clapper down firmly and hold it for a few seconds. The beechwood draws the heat and moisture out of the fibers and sets the seam as it cools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed together, you press once on the mat, clap, lift the block and move on to the next one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1 wool pressing mat\u003c\/strong\u003e, 100% wool, 17\" x 13.5\", about 1\/2\" thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 quilter's clappers\u003c\/strong\u003e in solid beech, one 6\" and one 9\", with engraved ruler markings and a velvet storage pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% wool has a faint sheepy scent the first few times you heat it.
