i got a new iron today. it has some weird special cord, which i haven't figured out yet, and auto shut-off, which i know is hotly debated, but i definitely need because i've come down several mornings to find my iron still plugged in and on, and happy for auto shut-off because the house isn't burnt down. and, it even came with its own little water pouring container, which is way cute!
plan for tonight/this weekend. i'm going to give the dread pirate rodgers'
continuous binding technique, which seems highly recommended by the intarwebs. i've got two quite large quilts to finish, and a full day of crafting on tap for tomorrow, hopefully.
Cool iron! Makes me go "eh" when I look at my beat-up 10-year-old Black & Decker. But it still works, so we'll go with it. Can't wait to hear about your adventures in binding1
ReplyDeletethanks! it is lovely, but it's basically the newer version of what i had, which was slightly beat up and not so new either. making bias tape went pretty well, although time consuming. i highly recommend the dread pirate rodgers tutorial. i only had to pick one seam in the end, which is pretty good for my direction-following-abilities. ;)
