Patchwork is all about time and you will be amazed how much more time you have if you use this brilliant iron.  Just set it up next to your sewing machine and no more up and down to the iron.  The iron has such a consistent heat so you can leave it on all day (sitting on the trivet - available separately) as it only uses 25 amps of power, much less than a conventional iron.  This little helper presses like a dream with no stretching of fabric, great for vliesofix applique and hard to reach intricate areas.  Every quilter should own one of these irons, you will love it, and it's ideal to take along to workshops etc.
