I'm wondering if this might be too much steam for quilt blocks and parts of blocks? I don't want to really wet the fabric or a steamy room.

I'm a quilter and love it! Not to worry, it's not too much steam. And you can adjust it if you want, although I always use it full strength. Just remember (as with any iron) to press, not iron, your blocks open.

Mine does not wet the fabric but it does put out quite a bit of steam. Working with small quilting parts, you could easily get a steam burn if you don't get your hand out of the way. You can adjust the steam but I've never tried as I like the steam. It is an awesome iron. Helen

I amNot familiar w quilt blocks or parts if blocks. This is not a humidifier so no you will not get a steamy room.

I use mine quite often to press things that I don't need an ironing board for; and have never experienced any of the quilting pattern to transfer to my garments or flat pieces. Never really thought about the possibility of it; but have been using mine for a few month now and have not experienced it happening.

Do you have the correct heat on your iron? I use this product a lot and have never had a problem. The other thing is, have you prewashed the fabric? These are the only things I would know. Good luck!

I wouldn't. I'm an experienced quilter and work in a quilt shop. For general machine Applique I would recommend Pellon wonder under (not heavy duty), misty fuse or steam a seam. It is a little less gummy for your needle and far less expensive. I use this to transfer hand embroidery designs onto fabric with my printer or copier. Good product but not right for what you are going to do in my humble opinion. Have fun!

It sounds like you are asking if the steam would be compatible with the material on the couch. The safest answer will come from the manufacturer of the furniture as to whether the hot steam would be damaging to the fabric.

I have the same problem. After reading the previous answer, I will try his suggestion. Mostly I use it for quilting so do more up and down motion on seams rather than a lot of actual ironing.

These are washable markers: I would suggest either contacting crayola or experimenting ie put put each crayon color on apiece of the fabric you use and wash it. I would hate to have you ruin a beautiful quilt!

I'm sorry that I can not help you with this as I have not washed my quilt yet. I use it as a bedspread and remove it every night so therefore don't wash it very often. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

I haven't had any problem with the steam at all. This is the best iron that I have owned. As a quilter I really appreciate this iron.

The settings go from min to max. I use the Max for quilting cottons and it is very hot. It also heats up very quickly. The only drawback is that the steam holes are only on the tip of the plate.

It has a nice finish on it but it's meant for dry quilts. You could probably add a water proof coat for the parts where pieces come together and be fine.

I can't tell you if this iron is better...but I LOVE IT....I use it for sewing and quilting and am very very happy :) it does use a lot of water...but I don't mind refilling it when needed. one problem.. can hit steam button and turn it off because of its location...I'm now aware of this and careful not to hold iron near the button....

Hi Marianne, I'm sorry, but I haven't used my mat yet so don't know if steam would go through the mat & possibly damage your wall. Hope someone else can help you. Becky

Yes, I've found running the steam train as fast as possible for a few minutes gets the steam going. I too had trouble with at first. It is a subtle but very neat effect.

I have not had my quilt long enough to require washing. It is nice quality but being oversized I would be hesitant to put in my home washer. I would probably recommend a commercial washer on gentle cycle.

This unit produces too much steam, in my opinion, to steam clothes. We use this wonderful little unit for small jobs, a big steamer for large jobs, and a dedicated clothes steamer on clothes. I have no idea how to reduce the pressure of this steamer to a level where it wouldn't blow your clothes into another room. Maybe you could get away with holding the tool about 2 feet from the garment. Who knows?

The water should not be too hot or too wet for wood floors. The main problem is when people leave the steamer in one place for a while, letting the heat build up. Since there is a tray provided for you to set the steamer on, this is not a problem.
