Thanks for all the good input. In watching vids of sewing technique, I see a LOT of pressing going on. I read about clothing presses and in looking for an Elnapress (the one that kept getting mentioned), I found a Singer Magic Press on eBay and although I've only used it once, it appears to work very well. It gets very hot. While trolling CL, I finally did find an Elnapress so now I have two. Both are dry presses. I read that the steam presses have lots of problems and I just use a spray bottle. The Elna has a built-in spray feature from the handle. I haven't tried the Elna yet.
But I will need a good hand iron. I may try the Black & Decker digital that everyone talks about. I want it to be heavy so it gives a good press w/out too much effort and I want it hot. And no leaks. So I need high wattage and I don't want the controls under the handle so I can't see them to adjust while I'm using it.
