I iron on the table-- i put a blanket on the table then a TWIN matter-is pad to hold it from slipping easy and it all rolls up for next time. the pads with rounded corners.

I was taught you can not sew without an iron

Friendly Quilter

Always iron, but never rip.

I was told to "press" when quilting and "iron" when getting the wrinkles out of clothing. The reasoning was that ironing involves swishing the iron back and forth over the clothing item and pressing does not distort your fabric for quilting because no swishing is allowed. Don't know where I learned this, but I think it was an Eleanor Burns show.

I guess I use the term interchangeably because they both use the iron. I guess I press my quilt blocks.

I didn't mean to sound judgemental. I guess, I was asking if there was a difference or if I was just told a bunch of blarney.
