My Favourite Sewing Tool: The Oliso TG1600+ Pro Smart Iron
Contents
As someone who spends a lot of time sewing and working with fabric, I’ve tried my fair share of irons, but if you want an amaizing steam iron the Oliso TG1600+ Pro Smart Iron is hands down my favourite sewing tool. The first time I saw it I was at a sewing lesson at Flying Bobbins and as soon as I used it I thought to myself this is an amaizing steam iron and I need one of these. Here’s why.
It’s not just an iron, it’s a game-changer. If you sew, quilt or craft regularly, you’ll know how important an amaizing steam iron is. This one has completely transformed my pressing (I DON’T do ironing lol), it makes pressing easier, faster and more precise.
Why I Love It
The first thing that makes this iron stand out is its iTouch technology. What this means is that the moment I remove my hand, the iron lifts itself off the fabric, no more scorch marks, no more constant lifting and setting it upright. It’s such a simple idea, but it makes a massive difference in reducing wrist strain, especially during long sewing sessions.
Then there’s the steam power. It is powerful it heats up really fast so I’m not hanging around waiting for it to heat up.
Here’s Some Technical Stuff
- A large water tank that lasts for ages, so I don’t have to keep stopping to refill.
- A super-smooth diamond ceramic-flow soleplate that glides over fabric without snagging or sticking.
- A long electrical cord which gives me the flexibility to move around my workspace without being restricted.
- Auto shut-off for safety though, to be honest, I love that it stays on for 30 minutes when lying flat, so I don’t have to worry about it cooling down in the middle of a project.
What I Would Change
Honestly, not much. It’s a bit heavier than a regular iron, but that actually helps with pressing. The iTouch lift system takes a bit of getting used to, but once I adjusted, I never wanted to go back to a regular iron. The price is on the higher side, but in my opinion, it’s worth every penny for an amaizing steam iron and then theres the time and effort it saves.
Final Thoughts
I never thought I’d rave about an iron, but here we are. The Oliso TG1600+ Pro has become an essential part of my sewing setup at home, and I wouldn’t want to work without it. If you sew or quilt regularly, this amaizing steam iron will make a noticeable difference in your projects. It’s powerful, smart and makes pressing fabric an absolute breeze.
If you’re on the fence about investing in a high-quality iron, this is the one to get. It’s easily my favourite sewing tool and I recommend it to anyone serious about their craft. It’s on the shopping list for the Wallington Sewing TheraBee Club. But its not cheap at around £175. If your interested you can get it on Amazon.
