HELPFUL HINT:  If you will press the chalk mat with a hot iron BEFORE turning right side out, the chalk fabric will be slightly more flexible and easier to turn.  AFTER turning, you can again press the mat WITH A PRESSING CLOTH to remove any white marks. :)

NOTE:  Do not iron chalk fabric directly without a pressing mat. It is vinyl and will melt! :)
