Heat Pressing Mat Brother PL0104012 30.5×30.5 cm for Fabric and Garment Pressing

Brother PL0104012 is a 30.5×30.5 cm heat pressing mat created for use with heat presses and household iron presses. The mat offers a flat, heat-resistant working surface that protects tables and helps ensure even heat transfer when applying iron-on transfers, heat transfer vinyl (HTV) and other heat-applied decorations to garments and fabric items. Its compact square shape is suited to small project areas and precision placement for patches, small logos and detailed motifs.

Advantages

The pressing mat is made from heat-resistant materials that tolerate typical garment-pressing temperatures while providing stable, non-slip support. Its 30.5×30.5 cm footprint gives consistent pressure distribution over small to medium-sized designs, reducing the risk of uneven transfers. The mat's thin, flexible profile allows it to be used under fabrics without raising seams excessively and helps protect work surfaces from direct contact with hot plates.

Suitable for

• Applying heat transfer vinyl to T-shirts, bags and small garments
• Pressing patches, appliqués and embroidered elements
• Small craft and patchwork projects requiring precise heat application
• Household iron pressing where a compact heat-resistant surface is needed

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 30.5 × 30.5 cm
• Shape: square
• Surface: flat, heat-resistant working area
• Compatibility: suitable for use with heat presses and home iron presses
• Function: protects work surfaces and promotes even heat distribution

How to use

Place the mat on a stable, heat-resistant work surface and position the garment or fabric item on top, smoothing out wrinkles and aligning the design. Position the transfer or vinyl in the desired location and apply the heat press or iron according to the transfer material's recommended temperature, pressure and time settings. The mat supports even pressure and heat distribution for cleaner adhesion; after pressing, allow the item to cool as required before removing carrier sheets or repositioning.

Usage recommendations

Use the mat on a flat, stable surface and ensure the fabric is free of folds under the design area. Follow the transfer material manufacturer's temperature and timing guidelines. For larger projects, use multiple passes or combine with a larger pressing pad to cover wider areas. Allow the pressed item to cool sufficiently before handling to avoid shifting the design.
