Guys, I’m desperately in love with the fancy new Oliso Pro iron that I won at this year’s Quilters Take Manhattan.

At first, I was skeptical that a high-end iron—even one that automatically raises the soleplate when I’m not touching it to avoid scorching—would really make that much of a difference in my sewing projects. Well, I can now assure you that it does. Also, that my Oliso Pro is clearly full of awesome and/or black magic.
