Does anyone know about this machine? I saw it at my DIL's, and she said she used it when the kids were little, to press their pants. Said I'm welcome to it. Is it good for tabletop use, to press those
1/4 inch seams when making blocks? Gwen in SE PAIsn't that what Eleanor Burns would use to press interfacing to her quilt squares? I think I remember her using something like it (not sure which brand) when she was making Sunbonnet Sue dolls and after she put the hands, arms, feet, dress, bonnet onto the bottom of the ironing board (she used something *plastic board? mat?* under the doll, slid it onto the ironing base) she would steam press them until the machine beeped, slide them back onto the mat and once they were cool they were all ready to be sewn onto the background fabric.
I've always wished I would have had room for one. IF you take it and you like it give me a holler and I'll tell Santa what I would like for Christmas:) I'll MAKE room in the Butterfly Studio for it: )
Butterfly (not much help, sorry)
I would love to have the room for a press, but not for quilting. At least not for the seams of piecing. But they are good for fusible applique and applying any fusible product. Or for a final pressing of completed blocks before trimming.

I've got one, but not a Singer and only use it for clothes, not for quilting, although I have just pressed a pile of new-into-the-house quilting fabrics, and it was good for that as they didn't stretch.
I use a travel iron by the machine when I am piecing and still have my normal iron and ironing board for ironing bigger lumps of quilt. A Press wouldnt get in there to iron seams precisely.
