Do you Iron or Press your Quilts? 

I haven't learnedly to quilt yet. My mother who turns 90 this month and my sister are avid quilters. They do beautiful work. One of these days i plan to learn. I knit and crochet. Love your hat! I am going to check out your 5 day mini course! Great tips!

I so agree on the iron thing. I work at Joann's and we sell like $100 to almost $200 irons and I see people buying them, which is totally fine but I have a $25 iron and I'm so happy with it. It gets the job done And that's all that matters! And I loved this video a bunch. All of your quilting videos have helped me so much. Thank you (:

Thanks for the tutorial! Needed the reminder about how to iron. Some of my blocks come out distorted, and after watching you, I realize I "iron" instead of "press". I use the Best Press, since that is what my quilting instructor recommended. I buy it at Joann's with a coupon, or on Amazon. I also agree with you on the longevity of irons. I go through one every 3 - 5 years, and I just started quilting! I've tried many different brands of irons: expensive, moderate, or cheap, and the more expensive ones last a LITTLE longer, but not really enough to make a difference. So I too, have been buying cheaper ones. I do notice that they don't steam as well as the more expensive ones, and I do a lot of ironing besides quilting. Again, thanks for the advice. Appreciate it!

I use to buy Rowenta exclusively however each on ended up leaking water. Soooo, I found a Black and Decker that has a large reservoir and auto shut off for safety. I love it! For start he I prefer Faultless non flaking heavy and I use steam. Just have to be gentle but there is no way I could sew without ironing. Thanks for the video!

Hi, Melanie. Your quilting tips always help, always. I am thankful to support a sweet, adorable, thoughtful, and nice quilter like you. What do you love about quilts? Have a good day, Melanie. 💖💖💖

Great tips. The steam vs no steam, iron vs pressing is answered by you. Thanks.

Melanie! I can't believe you haven't used an Oliso! I hope they send you one to use on your channel, lol, they are amazing and I love mine ☺

I love your sweater! sorry that's off topic

hi Melanie! I really love your tutorials. I am new to quilting and would love if you could show how to make a scalloped edge on a quilt...thanks.

I have a chi and I like it so far

My iron waseven cheaper, I paid only 10 euros for it. But it does the trick and I caneven iron some clothes when needed. When this one starts to fail I might pay a little more for a new one but not sure yet. We'll see what happens then.

I have the same iron as you have in this video. What I absolutely hate about it is the circle dial is directly under your fingers. I always bump it slightly with a knuckle and it changes the temperature I had it set at. I'm constantly resetting it. It isn't fun when I accidentally bump it to a higher temperature and use it on a delicate fabric.

i found a brand new rowenta iron at the flea market for $5! i was so excited and thought the guy did a mistake that i gave him the money and literally ran! i really do mean it!

Thank you for sharing Melanie, this was very helpful... is it ok to leave your iron on for so long while cutting squares as I have a lot of creases in some of my scraps before I cut them x

I love that the thumbnail looks like one of the makeup hauls or hot or not vids... but is actually for DIY nerds like myself. hahaha

thank you

I love it ,,,

When should I use startch? Is it on every piece?

Can the iron get hot enough to fry bacon?

Can u fry an egg on the iron?

Which websites do you recommend for buying fabric?
