Oliso Pro Plus TG1600 Smart Iron Auto Sensor Quilting Iron
The Oliso Pro Plus TG1600 Smart Iron is the flagship model in the Oliso professional iron line — featuring the patented iTouch auto-sensor system that automatically raises the soleplate off the fabric when the quilter’s hand leaves the handle, preventing scorches and burns while enabling continuous, efficient pressing without manually lifting and setting down the iron.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Oliso iTouch auto-sensor system?
- When you set the iron down and release the handle, four small legs automatically lower to raise the soleplate off the fabric surface. When you pick up the iron, the legs retract and the soleplate contacts the fabric. This prevents the soleplate from sitting directly on fabric during pauses, eliminating the primary cause of fabric scorching at the ironing board.
- Is the TG1600 appropriate for longarm studios?
- Yes — the TG1600 is the professional-grade Oliso model suited for studio environments where the iron is used heavily throughout the day. The auto-sensor system is particularly valuable in busy studios where the iron is set down frequently during quilt prep work.
- What is the steam output of the TG1600?
- The TG1600 delivers professional-grade steam output for penetrating quilt fabric layers during pressing. Check the current product specifications for specific steam capacity.
- What fabrics is the TG1600 appropriate for?
- All standard quilting fabrics including quilting cotton, flannel, and batik. Adjust temperature for specialty fabrics.
- Does the TG1600 replace a standard ironing board?
- The iron works with any standard ironing board or wool pressing mat. It does not replace the ironing surface.
