Ok I wasn't sure about this tool. I have purchased many tools for quilting and found few where worth the price and sometimes difficult to use. Gadget queen here! I have almost every tool made in recent years for quilting. I read reviews about this pressing tool and they where favorable. So I jumped in and bought it. :mrgreen: I am soooooo very happy I did. I am doing 2BOM and HST blocks , 8 in each block so they can stretch very easily. I did not believe how nice it works in preventing the awful stretching of the block. Try it out and see what you think. :thumbup:

Is this something that is used for pressing? How exactly do you use a Steady Betty?

I have one and wouldn't trade it for the world! It is the best thing ever!!!
And yes it is for pressing....you press your blocks on the steady betty.

I saw there are several sizes; ironing board cover,hand covers for FMQ , and several sizes for pressing. I purchased the 16 by 16. Great size for large blocks.

I bought one from Joanns with my 50% coupon, but due to moving I have not had a chance to use it. Can't wait.

Would you please enlighten those of us who have never heard about Steady Betty?

What is she all about?
