For home tailoring, quilting, and detailed sewing, the Quik Press is a dream. While a handheld iron has its place, the large 9-by-22-inch padded surface of this tabletop unit presses more fabric at once, making it ideal for professionally setting pleats, gathers, and pant leg creases, as well as fusing interfacing. The tapered end neatly shapes contoured sleeves and darts, while the hole-free nonstick metal shoe plate makes appliqués and heat transfers a crafter’s delight. A temperature dial and pressure selector--either 50 or 100 pounds--lets the press smooth everything from delicate nylon to wrinkle-prone linen. An automatic shutoff adds safety, and the nonstick cotton cover conveniently removes for washing. The long handle keeps hands away from hot surfaces and locks shut when finished, making the press easy to carry to sewing circles. Since the press uses dry heat, a spray bottle is included for misting fabrics when desired. The press measures 23 by 20 by 8-1/2 inches, and is covered by a one-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri The Simplicity Quik Press gives you a professional style dry press for all your pressing needs! At 9" x 22", the padded pressing surface is 7 times larger than regular irons so the Quik Press will cut your ironing time dramatically. Non-stick Teflon pressing shoe and variable temperature control for every pressing need from adhering appliques and heat transfers to quilting and crafting. Safety features include on/off switch, automatic shut-off, cord storage in press base, and stoppers to hold the press in place. The non-stick cotton cover is washable. The pressing cushion can be used to shape tailored garments, pleats, gathers, and contoured areas such as sleeves, darts and yokes. The spray bottle distributes an even, fine mist over fabric precisely where needed.
