      I could find many use for this iron…including but not limited to… I attend quilting classes as I am relatively new at it, I do sewing and quilting in my home as well and it can be a real hassle dragging out the big iron and board, as we all know. I get myself a wool ironing pad and that little iron and I wouldn’t have that hassle at all. Plus we travel!! Great for that to name a few.

    This is precious! It is very like a little travel-tissue cozy I often make with scraps, only bigger, with an off-center opening, a zipper, and the pleated bottom (and finished seams inside) — Brilliant! Love the little Oliso iron; it would be great for all the small applique work in my current BOM project (and I could bring it to class!)

    I watched your demonstration for the first time yesterday. It was so informative. Today’s is great too! I was thinking yesterday that the Oliso mini iron would be perfect gift for my sister. She makes banners for her church and other nonprofit groups. She often gets frustrated with her regular sized iron as it is too big to successfully tact down some of the intricate pieces she works on completing.

    Hello! Thank you Minki and Craftsy for the live tutorial. Fantastic project to use up scrap fabric and zipper, customize the size. Make one big enough to house the mini-iron?! Take the iron on the go or when I need to steam a small area of fabric or knits.

    I would love to win this iron. I just watched the videos on Amazon about this iron. Such great ideas. I didn’t know you could use this as just a steamer. That must mean it has a great steam setting. Also to use on tight spaces like children’s clothes and on inside pant legs and tubes. The small iron I have does not do all of these things well. I would love to own this Oliso mini iron.
