Effortless holiday quilting with UNIQUE Pressing Mat and Oliso Iron

Yesterday was a fun day spent preparing the ornament appliques with some HeatnBond Lite Iron-On Adhesive.

Today, I’ll set up an ironing station in the sewing area with a small folding table, the OLISO M3Pro Project Iron – Coral, and the UNIQUE QUILTING Wool Pressing Mat – 18″ x 24″ – Grey (I really love the size of this mat).

Select the fabric for each ornament.

Press the prepared HeatnBond adhesive on the wrong side of each fabric.

Note: Read the pressing directions before starting, as each HeatnBond product has different directions which, if not followed, can affect the project.

With the help of your LDH 8¹⁄₂″ Craft Scissors – Purple, cut out each ornament shape. This time, cut on the lines. Position the fabric ornaments on your background fabric. I cut mine 14” wide x the width of the fabric.

I placed the first ornament on the right and then added the others using spacing I liked. I’ll trim the excess background fabric later.

Once you’ve decided on the placement of your ornaments, remove the paper backing and press in place.

Some fun features of the OLISO M3Pro Project Iron – Coral are:

• It can be used with water for dual-zone steam.
• It comes with a silicone SoleMate to rest and store the iron.
• It has an LED ProLight.
• It has an automatic shut-off.

Preparing the ornament appliques was fast and easy with the use of our UNIQUE QUILTING Wool Pressing Mat – 18″ x 24″ – Grey and OLISO M3Pro Project Iron – Coral.

Tomorrow, we’ll complete the quilted table runner using Gütermann metallic threads and SCHMETZ metallic needles.
