By getting all those outfits pressed and perfect gift-box ready.

A new Focus iron would help tremendously with the heaps of handmade gifts I make each year! And likely return some joy to the process of sewing, unlike my current leaky, temperamental iron.

Press my Holiday outfits and finish my wool blazer.

It would be wonderful for finishing up last minute projects and getting things like the tableclothes pressed and ready for our holiday dinner!
Dec 19, 2011, 03.49 AMby rshelly13
I would be able to finish all of my last minute projects.

It would help me stop yelling every time my stupid iron turned off in between pressing seams!
Dec 19, 2011, 03.42 AMby sunshinebreezy
Oh, of course I’d nicely press my table cloth and my children’s holiday outfits. What an amazing iron!

I love the thermostat control on these irons – soooo, I would LOVE to have this iron to help me press the creases out of my new oil cloth stash…so i can finally get around to sewing those oil cloth dopp bags for the dudes in my life!

It’s gonna help me spend less time pressing clothes, the tablecloth, and Christmas projects so I can have more time enjoying the holidays with my family.

Pressing is so important to garment making… I’m making lots of pjs for x’mas gifts. Nice iron will help! :)

I have a lot of things to iron and not enough time. It would be nice to pull out a few things I don’t wear as often because they take too much time to iron.

It would help me tremendously with finishing quilting projects and getting our linens together. We’ve inherited my fiance’s parent’s iron from like 1982…it’s a bit sketchy, so a new Rowenta would be a dream lol.
Dec 19, 2011, 03.07 AMby tina-c
it would help me prep for the holidays by getting the tablecloth ironed with ease.

Some Holiday rituals can be nice, like going into your great grandmothers cedar chest for her Christmas linens. When you lay them out for pressing, steaming, the smell of the cedar filling the room stirs memories, thoughts drift back to when you as a child watched her pressing these same linens for the Christmas table. How such a simple item can bring such joy.

An iron this beautiful would make ironing fun, instead of a chore. I would look forward to using it to sharpen up my seams and improve my sewing projects. thanks for the chance to win.

I would love to replace my iron with this! It would get my quilts done so much faster! and yes, I have a US mailing address :) ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com

I think with an iron this beautiful, getting it out would feel like less of a chore and more fun. It looks amazing.
Dec 19, 2011, 02.47 AMby reliablechef
It would let me iron more clothes before needing a refill of water; something amazing when you have a family of 9 to clothe!
Dec 19, 2011, 02.42 AMby lizajane09
I can’t live without my iron. This one sounds way swankier than my current one!
Dec 19, 2011, 02.41 AMby drainl
Fancy! My dress clothes have been in storage so they all need a good pressing!

Well, three weeks ago, my cat decided my ironing board looked like a great perch, and jumped onto it, knocking my iron off. Upon hitting the floor, the iron broke – the water tank for the steam function came off altogether and broke, it’s not repairable. While I can iron, I use the steam function often, especially with some of the costumes and embroidery sewing I do, I really need a new iron! It would be greatly appreciated!
Dec 19, 2011, 02.15 AMby jrees09
I’m making pettiskirts as gifts for young cousins which involves pressing in half 100 yards of ribbon…enough said!
Dec 19, 2011, 02.07 AMby justthinkin
My holiday linens would be a grand focus!!!!
Dec 19, 2011, 02.03 AMby saxysarah
A new Iron would be great for my quilting this holiday season! It would be great to have any time of the year!
Dec 19, 2011, 02.01 AMby Erica F.
It would help with all the aprons I’m making for my aunts for Christmas!
Dec 19, 2011, 02.00 AMby Tericelovetosew
If I don’t win it I’ll have to buy a new one. Every good seamstress can’t do without.
Dec 19, 2011, 01.45 AMby manda-mae
It would help me make my nephew’s quilt:-)
Dec 19, 2011, 01.41 AMby jeweleddragon
I’d love a new iron to help me make my own last-second, DIY fabric Christmas tree! I’d use it for ironing all the wrinkles out of my stashed/recycled fabric, of course. ;D
Dec 19, 2011, 01.24 AMby paintedlady89
This would be a dream to get all the holiday decorations and fabrics pressed to perfection. So thrilled to see the steam capabilities!
Dec 19, 2011, 01.14 AMby wanderingmuse
I’m making 2 dresses for my sister and I’m sure having a new iron will make the pressing even better!
