I was perfectly happy with my iron. So much so that I didn't mind one bit toting it to retreats. I have been using an Oslo - one of the ones that stays horizontal to the ironing board rather than sit upright. This iron has been fantastic. Then I met ol' Reliable. I had no idea there was such a thing as an iron that gave you a facial at the same time. This thing puts out steam like Old Faithful, and has a swooshing noise that reminds me of the old Superman TV series.
I was using one of the ironing stations at retreat. I couldn't manage a whole top on my Steady Betty and needed the bigger working surface. I used the Velocity by Reliable all weekend and admired it each time I got up to use it. I was even disappointed when someone else was hogging the station. (The nerve.)
Sunday afternoon it followed me home. Yes, it was very expensive, especially for an iron. I probably could have purchased several, perfectly serviceable irons for the same price. I wasn't even in the market. This tool is that good.
Thank you to Laura Kay from Happiness Is Quilting for the introduction.
Weather permitting....I should have all three boys under one roof again in just a few hours....four to be more precise. I'm so excited I could bust a seam.
