Best of Madam Sew: Press Pro Edition (Red Organizer)

A red everyday kit for sewing and quilting, built around pressing your work crisp and finishing it beautifully. It brings together a big wool pressing mat, a protective ironing cloth, and a free surprise gift: a tailor's precision press, plus a 6 by 12 inch ruler, a flower stitch foot, white and blue marking pens, sewing clips, and matching red storage.

Press every seam and block flat on the extra-large New Zealand wool mat, lay the protective cloth over silk, velvet, or corduroy so a hot iron never leaves a shine mark, and reach for the precision press when you want crisp, neat results on collars, cuffs, and delicate pieces. Measure and cut smaller pieces with the ruler, mark light or dark fabric with the erasable pens, and hold your layers with the clips instead of pins. Snap on the flower stitch foot when you want a decorative circular design. Patterns and papers go in the red binder bag, and your current project rides in the red project bag.

A full red pressing kit, plus a free surprise gift. Press it, finish it, enjoy the extra.

Why You'll Love It

• Press Crisp From Both Sides: The 17 by 24 inch wool mat sends the iron's heat back through the fabric, so your seams and blocks come out flat and sharp.
• Safe on Delicate Fabric: The see-through protective cloth lets you iron silk, velvet, or corduroy without shine marks or scorching.
• A Free Surprise Gift: Every kit includes a tailor's precision press, a bonus pressing tool for crisp, neat results on collars, cuffs, and delicate pieces.
• Mark Light or Dark Fabric: The four white pens show up on dark fabric and the blue pen marks light fabric, and the fine 0.7mm lines vanish under the iron with no washing.
• A Little Fun, Too: Snap on the flower stitch foot and stitch circular flower designs from one-quarter inch to 1 inch across.
