Often overlooked or taken for granted, quilting irons can make your job a whole lot easier. Anyone who has grappled with wrinkly fabric will tell you that using a quality quilting iron will save you time and aggravation in the long run.
Pressing irons, as they are also called, are put into use after your material is washed and dried. It's much easier to cut and sew fabric that's smooth. Also, smooth fabric is larger than wrinkled fabric because the wrinkles cause the fabric to bunch up.
Along with pressing large swaths of cloth, you'll need an iron to press open your seams after you've stitched two pieces of fabric together. Pressing your seams helps them to lie flat and gives your quilting work a professional look.
Don't forget about the other nifty things your pressing iron can be used for – like affixing quilt labels to finished projects. Then there's fusible web, which uses the iron's heat to seal two pieces of fabric together for quilting. You can find fusible web with our applique notions.
While you absolutely need an iron for quilting, you can put it to work for many other sewing projects, too. Whatever pressing needs you may have, Fat Quarter Shop has the perfect electric iron for the job.

All of our quilting irons will give you a flat, crisp press, but if your iron is a workhouse, you may need a more robust model. When shopping for your electric iron, keep in mind how you plan to use it and which features and benefits are most important to you.

Along with your iron press, you need an ironing board to work on. Many quilters find a mini-sized ironing board convenient because it's small and easy to stow away when not in use. Be sure to get a cover and pad to fit over your ironing board. Consider a non-stick ironing mat if you work with a lot of delicate fabrics. Along with the essentials, we have several nice-to-haves that can make your task easier. Explore our entire selection of ironing accessories.
Distilled water was once thought to be less corrosive than tap water, but experts sometimes have differing views. Follow the instructions that came with your quilt iron since the manufacturer knows which type of water is best for that model. Helpful tip: Drain your iron after using it so there's no standing water left, no matter what type of water you use.
