It had a binding along both sides of the top then binding was used all the way around the three closed sides to connect them. The handles were made into the top binding. Once her project was taken out her tote became her pressing surface. It was about the size of a fat quarter and I thought it was pretty cool. Has anyone ever seen these? Or do you have one?
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] |
Here's a YouTube that may be helpful! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfU8J...ature=youtu.be

This thread is an excellent example of why we are reading the QB. Helping each other find whatever we're looking for.

I just bought this pattern. The iron can be hot as it does have the silver ironing board fabric and batting in it. Cool pattern.
|
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.
