Now, on to the review!

Cordless Iron + Product Review + Panasonic 360 Freestyle, Quilting Irons, Best Irons for Quilting + Sewing, Purple Iron

First and foremost, this iron is a GAME CHANGER!!

I had my previous iron for 15 years!  It still works and I still love it.  I feel guilty about leaving it.  We’ve been through so much.  But the fact that this new iron does not have a cord attached directly to it, makes a huge difference!  No more being mindful of the cord while ironing and even better, no more fighting with the cats that come to attack the cord while I’m trying to iron!  🐈

It has your usual settings – low-medium-high, with or without steam.  You can steam horizontally or vertically!

You can iron in any direction you desire!  Notice that both the back and front of the plate is angled for pressing.  I suppose that’s why its named “360° Freestyle”… because you’re free to go all around if you wanted!  😉  Another point about the iron plate, it has holes all around it for and even steaming.  So amazing!  ✨

Here’s a view of the water tank.  It’s removable!  You don’t have to take the entire iron to the sink to refill, only the tank.  I’ve read some Amazon reviews of customers complaining that the water tank is too small and they have to refill too often.  As quilters, we use the iron often to steam press while piecing and I don’t agree with the reviews.  Yes, the water tank is small but it can run for a good 2 hours before a refill.  I don’t think it’s so bad that you have to get up every 2 hours to refill the water tank.  You should be getting up to stretch anyway a few times an hour!  Refill a water tank while your’e at it!

While we’re on the topic of Amazon reviews.  There are a few reviews that complain about how the iron shuts off if not in use for 10 minutes or more.  Again, we’re quilters.  This doesn’t affect us really.  We’re constantly pressing our fabric pieces so the iron doesn’t stay idle all that long.  And even when it does go to sleep after the 10 minutes, it only takes about 10-15 seconds for it to heat back up to high.  But then again, to some folks, that’s a long time.  But I think I have a little more patience than most people, I suppose.  🙄

Here’s what the base looks like.  It is used to rest the hot iron on it while not in active use.

It also comes with a cover that doubles as a carrying case!

Here’s where I keep the iron in my sewing area.  I am right-handed so the setup is perfect!

  • Perfect weight for pressing quilt blocks
  • Removable water tank
  • Heats up quick
  • Comes with a carrying case
  • It’s cordless!!

The Arctic Polar Bears Quilt

Finished Quilt Size: 45″ by 55″

Here’s a new finished quilt that I made, in an attempt to be “gender neutral.”  I used Elizabeth Hartman’s Arctic Fabric and the quilt pattern is a simple a 9-patch that cuts up into smaller quilt blocks.  It’s a neat quilter’s trick and you’ll have to see my free quilt tutorial on how to make it.  It’s quick, easy, and I know you’ll enjoy it!

Cute little icy polar bears smiling at you on the backing fabric. The binding is called “Evening Abstract Dots Fabric” by Robert Kaufman. It looks like snow and makes for very pretty quilt binding.

My favorite little quilt model, always ready for a photo shoot! He helps me hold and model the quilt, even looks for perfect spots with ideal lighting!

Why is it that whenever I am trying to arrange the quilt blocks for the layout, I get furry volunteers that fight over who gets to help me?

And when we’re done we’re the layout process, they think it’s time to rest and relax on it. How will I ever get any work done around here?

At last, some progress! Getting some sewing done!

He always know when a quilt is done. He wants to be the first to cozy up to it!
