Le coussin-moufle est un coussin rembourré semblable à une mitaine, qu'on emploie pour repasser les petits éléments. Il est particulièrement utile aux endroits que le coussin de tailleur ne permet pas d'atteindre. Une de ses faces est en laine, l'autre, en coton. Des poches reçoivent la main. Ce coussin s'emploie aussi sur la jeannette (...) il fournit la surface ronde nécessaire au repassage des têtes de manche.
