A dry iron works fine for me.

I use steam because I was taught to. Sometimes at a class they only have dry irons. I think using steam makes the pressed seam stay better.

Dry iron here too. Sometimes mary ellens best press.

More important then steam or no steam is the ironing surface. If your surface is soft, the block will sink in and distort with a hot iron or steam setting in the distortion. A very firm non giving surface will make a big difference. I use a board for pressing all my blocks and piecing. A thick piece of plywood covered with one layer of thin cotton batting with cotton canvas stretched around it and then stapled. I need all the help I can get and small things make a big difference.

I use steam and a piece of 100% cotton underneath. Your seams lay just beautiful.
|
Dry Iron so I get no stretch. Mary Elle's best press too. Love that stuff. Gives it a great finish.
|
I was taught to use steam and I do......until the iron runs dry :)
|
I use steam, this is what I was taught!!
|
I use steam too - funny we do what we were taught!
|
Most of the time I use steam, but there are other times when I use a dry iron and loads of starch.
