It seems every time I try to iron anything small, especially seam binding I am always burning my fingers, some times more than others....what do you do to keep from doing this....Has anyone tried the thermal thimbles....

I bought the smaller Dritz iron for that. Makes burning yourself less likely to happen. They can be fairly expensive but if you use a coupon from Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or JoAnn's they aren't so bad.

I must be doing something wrong...rarely burn my fingers when ironing...lol.

I have heard some of the gals on here say they wear a Klutz glove ..one of the ones you use with a rotary cutter. A wooden chop stick works well too...No fun to have burnt fingers...keep a bowl of ice water close by..I use one of those when I am working with the hot glue gun too...crafty_linda_b

can you use tweezers ?

i have longer fingernails that help
|
Smaller iron. I love my Dritz mini-press.

I haven't burned any fingers since I stopped using steam. It was the hot steam that was burning my fingers. I do have some little protectors, but it's just be one more thing to have to keep track of.

Use the mini iron, tape your fingers, have a wooden skewer stick handy at the ironing board...especially if you are using steam....
