I bought a cheep version of the elna press, that was a mistake, It did not open up far enough to get the item in without burning my hands. I took it back to the store the next day. I do hope to get a heat press soon because I want to start doing some heat transfers and crystal stuff.

Enjoy. Had one for years when we didn't have home help. My son at age /10 used to iron his sister's school skirt while she made sandwiches for lunch. Mom was at work 5am!

They are also great for fusible interfacing!! What a time difference to get all the pieces done in one two beeps.

If you are pressing something with embroidery, turn the embroidery face down into a good thick hand towel or washcloth. This should keep your embroidery from flattening too much.

Congratulations on getting one - enjoy it!!

Good for you! I saw a demo on TV and have been drooling since - saw one in a sewing dealers. Couple weeks ago saw one in Second Glance (a local second hand store), but didn't have any extra cash. Also, not sure it works. If it's still there I might check it out.
Good to hear you like it. Enjoy!
