I've totally noticed the same thing on Jenny's tutorials. She really moves that iron around, and uses steam. It's her SURFACE that doesn't move. I've found that a nice, firm ironing surface without a bunch of padding, and a covering like cotton duck is key. I use steam and love it, but that's personal preference. Also, let your piece COOL before picking it up, at least several seconds if you can't wait for it to cool completely. Also, starch.
