    Ok I wasn't sure about this tool. I have purchased many tools for quilting and found few where worth the price and sometimes difficult to use. Gadget queen here! I have almost every tool made in recent years for quilting. I read reviews about this pressing tool and they where favorable. So I jumped in and bought it. :mrgreen: I am soooooo very happy I did. I am doing 2BOM and HST blocks , 8 in each block so they can stretch very easily. I did not believe how nice it works in preventing the awful stretching of the block. Try it out and see what you think. :thumbup:

    Is this something that is used for pressing? How exactly do you use a Steady Betty?

    I saw there are several sizes; ironing board cover,hand covers for FMQ , and several sizes for pressing. I purchased the 16 by 16. Great size for large blocks.

    I bought one from Joanns with my 50% coupon, but due to moving I have not had a chance to use it. Can't wait.

    Would you please enlighten those of us who have never heard about Steady Betty?

    What is she all about?
