I bought a steam press on CL and I really like it. I don't use it for quilting much. When I make drapes,applique, and machine embroidery it saves so much time and much easier on the back. I also use it to press large pieces of fabric before cutting. I use a spray starch with mine also. Just be sure to use the sewing board cover that comes with the machine. Be sure to wipe off the cover each time you use the starch before putting it away. I don't use it every day but it sure is great when I need to iron large pieces of fabric. Look for them second hand first, I have found plenty on sale,like the sewing machines,you either use them all the time or not at all. Mine had been used twice.
