This was just as good as the ironing mits that are normally found in Fabricland at a fraction of the price. The mitt was thick and inflexible, though it had cushion, which created a soft flat surface for the iron to go against. Clothes did not need to be removed from the hangers and placed to against a flat surface. It kept my hand from being burnt from the metal and did not require me to do anything more than leave my hand up. This was great for precision ironing jobs.
