Designers' Favorite Quilting Notions

2 of 10

Irons

My favorite iron—one of those Rowenta Steam Generators (pictured)—allows me to press dry and then set the piece with a shot of steam. —Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie's Co.

I have a Rowenta tank steam iron...another best thing that I bought! —Avis Shirer of Joined at the Hip

A wooden iron (pictured), I use it for paper piecing because I don't like to get up to iron every little seam when paper piecing. —Cori Derksen of Blue Meadow Designs

I could never live without my iron. I even travel with one! I press every step of the way. There is no way you can end up with perfect piecing, great appliqué, or a nice flat quilt top with out pressing each step of the way. I could live without my sewing machine but never my iron! —Cynthia Tomaszewski of Simple Pleasures
