You can see quilt marks on the mat that I am almost positive transfer to clothes. Why does this rate so well?

I agree that the product rates a bit highly considering some obvious design flaws. The quilt marks are annoying but can usually be avoided if not pressing too hard on the iron or by re-ironing the same spot. They do not consistently show on the clothes you are ironing.

Yes, it can leave slight marks on clothes (depending on fabric); however, if you use starch it works great! My son used this without any pad over it to iron his Officer's Uniform at his Academy. If you're worried about marks, you may want to consider a steamer instead of an iron.

I use mine quite often to press things that I don't need an ironing board for; and have never experienced any of the quilting pattern to transfer to my garments or flat pieces. Never really thought about the possibility of it; but have been using mine for a few month now and have not experienced it happening.

No great little product if you don't haul out the big ironing board. Well worth it!

Unless the material is a fine fabric or if your using a wet spray, it shouldnt bother the clothes. The quilt look is flatter than you can see just from the picture.

I use this mat to iron my holiday tablecloths. I put three table in row and place the ironing mat underneath the taablecloth and move it along underneath. I was afraid the quilt design would show too - but it hasn't on my brocade table linens. I also placed the ironing pad on an upholstered footstool in my livingroom and pressed 32 linen napkins while watching tv. I'm really glad I purchased this item from Amazon. It is very well made.

I usually spray this on in the bathroom, and give it a couple of minutes to dry. Once you put your clothes on, you can feel it, but it doesn't usually transfer onto clothing or bedding. However, if you sweat while it is on, it will transfer, and even leave a drip/run mark from sweat beads. Hope that helps.

Hi there! No seam at the corners, and my bed has a footboard, quite low the quilt looks fine. It's truly lovely!

I have never had it leave a shine on my fabrics. I do lots of pressing and ironing for I quilt. Also I have ironed linen table cloths and napkins, creases in jeans and washable slacks. My wife's blouses... It makes great creases without heavy starching.

I'm not in town to check the tag, but I know the material has a very slight sheen to it and feels smooth. My guess would be that it is not cotton.

Although my quilt is packed away until summer, I remember that it is not 100% cotton. I believe it is a combination of cotton and synthetic. Maybe fill is cotton and fabric is polyester or the other way around.

I sent quilts overseas. They didn't have to do anything with them when they received them, but if it is clothes, particularly cotton types, I would think you would need to do so.

If it shows up correctly on the stamper before you stamp, it is likely the type of polish you are using. It needs to be a less liquidy polish to transfer correctly I have found..

I can not tell you why this is happening to you. I can tell you that my mat is not wet or slimey. After I have dried and put away my dishes I do wipe under the mat and make sure everything is dry. Hope this helps.

I couldn't find the tag (it's on my daughter's bed and I didn't want to disassemble it) so I can't answer your questions completely, but here goes: the backing is clearly synthetic, not cotton--it's very slick and shiny. Don't know about the filling, but I would guess polyester. I think it would cost more if it was all cotton. The quilting is stitched.

If the mat isn't the same thickness it's awfully close. Mine is doing it's job on the hardwood floor.

I have only labeled clothing. If the fabric is smooth it will pull off with no residue. It you label fabric like terry cloth it is difficult to remove.

I looked all over the two I have and could not find any marking in the metal. That being said, even a stamp in the metal could be faked or added later so I'm not sure it would really mean anything and the two I have are really well made and unlike some of the cheap ones I've had in the past. Hope this helped.

I guess it's normal. I use mine for quilt piecing and I have done some machine quilting on it. It seems to respond according to the pressure you put on the foot pedal. I love it. I have an electronic very high end machine I use for embroidery, etc. but this little guy is perfect for take along and quilting. Hope this helps. Mary

Mine was in perfect condition. However I don't know if it was my careless washing but I do have a few spots that faded after several washes. It does hold up well. I've washed it too many times to remember as it is on my kitchen table and gets a lot of use. I cover the faded spots with placemats and its not even noticeable to anyone but me. The fabric looks as good as new even after all the washes.

I've put a transfer on a sweatshirt. It's been washed about 20 times and still in great shape. The transfer has the feel of the old red and white checked oil cloth table cloths (If you remember those).
