Never saw one before but I know who's going to have on soon!

I bought a bolt of the silver fabric and it is supposed to be "safe" up to 400 degrees. I can send you a fat quarter if you PM the addy.
I wonder how 'cool' the iron needs to be in order to put them in the totes without the iron burning the liner?
WARM but not HOT . . . maybe?[/QUOTE]

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.
