Irons & Accessories
A great iron is one of the most important tools in your quilting studio. Linda’s Irons and Accessories collection features high-quality irons, iron stands, and ironing accessories built for the demands of serious quilters — including models compatible with the Iron Matik auto-lift system for safe, hands-free pressing.
What kind of iron is best for quilting?
Quilters benefit from an iron with consistent, even heat, a smooth soleplate, and good steam output. A dry iron (used with a separate spray bottle or pressing cloth) is also popular for precise seam pressing without water marks.
What is the Iron Matik and why do quilters love it?
The Iron Matik is an automatic iron stand that raises your iron off the pressing surface between uses — preventing accidental burns and scorch marks. It’s a hugely popular safety and convenience accessory for quilters who iron constantly during a project.
Should I use steam or dry heat for pressing quilt seams?
Both methods work. Steam helps set seams firmly and is great for blocking. Dry pressing gives more control and eliminates the risk of steam distorting bias-cut fabric. Many quilters use a spray bottle with a dry iron for the best of both.
Do you carry travel-size irons for sewing retreats?
Check our current listings — we periodically carry compact and travel irons ideal for quilting classes and retreats where outlet space is limited.
