5.0 out of 5 starsA 'Must Have' accessory for Easy Press
September 15, 2018
There is one thing that we don't want in our attempts at making a nice shirt or other garment... is failure. HTV sheets ain't cheap, so getting a good result every time is essential. This mat is king when it comes to what we need, CONSISTENCY. The mat provides fantastic consistency in terms of:
- Surface: A large area that's just firm enough to provide a smooth surface and even contact patch for the press. No more using towels or fading your kitchen table.
- Temperature: The inside layers make for even temperatures over the surface consistently. Towels, tables, and other surfaces can have wildly uneven heat absorption rates, causing poor adhesion in random places. The bottom stays nice and cool as well, so it wont harm the surface underneath with heat.
- Moisture: Towels can provide inconsistent moisture wicking and dispersion, who knows what's in your pillow..
- Time: Since the mat surface is consistent in smoothness and temperature, press times can be far more accurate and consistent as well. This is incredibly important with multi color designs and hot peel tacking.

All these variables added together can make for frustrating results. The mat takes out a lot of the guesswork and tweaking. The mat has nearly brought my Easy Press up to clam shell press consistency, 5+ color shirts are easy peaz.

3.0 out of 5 starsFirst impression: Not sure this is worth the money
July 25, 2018
Warning This review is a first impressions review. I’ve not yet used it on an iron on project. But Amazon and many sellers always ask for reviews soon after delivery: too early in my mind. They should wait six weeks before asking so reviews are based on knowledge and practice. This way, reviewers can write based on knowledge and readers can be effectively informed pre purchase.

As to my take on this mat - the jury in my head is still deliberating. The Provo Craft Cricut group are inventive geniuses who (nowadays) support their product user’s wishes well. “Meh,” is my initial impression on this mat. Hopefully it serves me better in practice. Substance: This pressing mat is lighter weight and floppy in hand than expected. I’ve had sturdy padded ironing board covers back in the day. This pressing mat is barely thicker than that. I expected a heavier, firmer semi-rigid mat after reading descriptions and photos describing its multi-layered construction. Reading the narratives I pictured a semi-firm ironing base with a dense padded top and substantial removable cover. I am presently underwhelmed with my Cricut Easy Press mat. It is thinner and floppier than I expected and the cover is not removable for washing. Crafters can be clumsy, distracted by process and lost in their art. They often keep messy snacks and spillable drinks nearby. Accidents and cleanup happen. The mat’s cover fabric does feel quite convincing. It seems to include metallic fibers which probably will help heat dispersal. The mat does stay in place well on my table despite not having a noticeable grippy bottom fabric.

I generally get value for money from Cricut. Initially this mat disappoints at its present msrp. It may amaze me in practice but initially it seems overpriced for its size and substance plus I strongly believe the cover should be removable for washing as are most ironing board covers.

Size: 12"x12"Color: GrayVerified Purchase
Love it!! I had been debating on whether or not I should get this. A friend of mine told me I needed it and so I ordered it! What a game changer this has been! Helps distribute the heat while using heat transfer vinyl (HTV) and now my shirts are even better!!

5.0 out of 5 starsFabulous addition to the Cricut Easy Press.
December 19, 2018
Size: 12"x12"Color: GrayVerified Purchase
I read a post online with someone saying this mat is a game changer for using with the Cricut Easy Press. I decided to give it a try because I was still having some issues getting my heat transfer vinyl (HTV) to adhere completely to the clothing item. This is a must have! It reflects the heat into the clothing item. It makes any crafting project using HTV so much easier.

5.0 out of 5 starsMust have accessory for the Easypress!
January 5, 2019
Size: 12"x12"Color: GrayVerified Purchase
Perfect accessory for your Cricut Easypress 2. The mat is 12x12 and works perfectly for the 9x9 Circuit Easypress.

The surface underneath the mat stays nice and cool. The heat from the Easypress does not transfer through at all - at least not in any of my experiences. So there's no need to worry about damaging a counter top surface or anything of the such. I do however use a Teflon sheet in between the Easypress and HTV. This guarantees a nonstick surface. All in all its a worthwhile purchase and comes as a highly recommended and must have accessory for the Easypress!

5.0 out of 5 starsGame changer
February 26, 2019
Size: 12"x12"Color: GrayVerified Purchase
Okay, so I got my easypress and wasn’t pleased. It was only a slight step up from my iron. This made a world of difference! My projects are done quicker and so much better. HTV is on to stay. I now love my easy press. For as little as I make, I don’t want to utilize the space to a heat press. I’m tickled.

5.0 out of 5 starsTotal game changer...
January 25, 2019
Size: 12"x12"Color: GrayVerified Purchase
First of all, I am new to the Cricut family. I received an easy press for Christmas. After many frustrating, failed attempts at numerous brands of HTV, I finally found a solution to my problem. This mat was it. (Along with having the correct time/temp recipe and pressure) the 12x12 is the perfect size. It has durable layers that make it a firm surface with enough layers and give to mold to your materials. The affordable price is a bonus. Thank You for a great product addition. Bits of Birdy on F.

Perfect mat!! It's a little rough to avoid movement in the material. Great tool to have with my EasyPress.And no damage to my very white table underneath.

March 26, 2019
Size: 16"x20"Color: GrayVerified Purchase
This mat is a great. I use it not only for my iron-on vinyl Designs, but also to press some of my fabrics before I put them on my sewing machine. This product is quick and easy to use. The size makes it easy to store out of the way when crafting. This mat protects your crafting surface and distributes heat evenly to give you a nice and quick press. I have used a towel to protect my surfaces, but once I got the easy press mat I wont go back. I recommend this product to friends and family.

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for using inside a tshirt in a heat press
November 11, 2019
Size: 16"x20"Color: GrayVerified Purchase
This is perfect to use in my heat press.I put it inside my shirts that I'm pressing so it remains flat when I put it in the heat press. There is one side that can take heat. I made the mistake of not paying attention and had the wrong side face up. The bottom of the pad left coloring on my white shirt. Totally my fault, so dont make the same mistake I did! There is a correct side to use against the heat. Other than that little learning experience, i love it.
