Funny how we'll gripe about ironing a shirt but no problem tackling 6 yards of fabric!! LOL!! Try a dry iron and you'll never go back to a steam iron.
I just found out about these dry irons and ordered one. Sounds perfect for quilting and sewing fine fabrics when you don't want gunked up stem holes. Also looks like no auto-shut off. I hate going back to the iron and it is cooling down.
