I just bought this pattern. The iron can be hot as it does have the silver ironing board fabric and batting in it. Cool pattern.

I have a square pressing nd iron carry. I backed out the fabric and put the batting for hot things in the centre. Then did a quick quilt. I ended by sewing ties on the four corners. Put iron in centre then fasten the ties. The whole can then go into my tote. I do let the iron cold ow before putting in but I am not worried if it has some heat. Took it to classes last year it was very useful in a place full of quilters with li,tied irons.

That's what I was thinking of trying!

It had a binding along both sides of the top then binding was used all the way around the three closed sides to connect them. The handles were made into the top binding. Once her project was taken out her tote became her pressing surface. It was about the size of a fat quarter and I thought it was pretty cool. Has anyone ever seen these? Or do you have one?

great idea!!!!!!!!! thanks for the info

The best iron tote you won't have to wait for the iron to cool or worry about dripping water is a small galvanized bucket. It sits great in the car. Just unplug and plop the iron in, grab handle and go.
