A new iron



Boy I bet that got you excited!!!
I have been through many irons. I have come to the conclusion not to put water in my irons, it just seemed to make my iron a mess, then when I read on Bonnie Hunters blog she & others don't use water in their irons either, I didn't feel alone.
So here it is...............
It is cordless................
Last night I finished knitting my scarf, gee I really enjoyed knitting, I haven't done it for years. I use to knit for others & get paid....many years ago.
I had to think how to cast off!

Some of my quilting, I hope to have this finished one of these days. Then I will share the whole quilt.

Things are pretty soggy here in Northland, so much rain!

    Hi Leeanne, what a great looking iron you have now. Love the cordless. I too don't use water when I am ironing quilting. Never have. I do use steam though when ironing clothes though. :)

    So what do you think of the cordless iron? There have been so many reviews about various cordless ones, and the consensus seems to be that they can be a bit light to get a good crease and some don't stay hot long enough for sustained ironing (such as quilt backs etc). I'd be interested in what brand/model it is, and what your thoughts are

    Maybe you could do a review on your new iron?
    Your scarf is lovely, and your quilting is amazing!

    I'm echoing the need for a review. My next iron is going to be a thought-out purchase rather than a 'grab one because the last one just fell apart' purchase, so I'd love to read your thoughts.
