About seven or eight years ago a sewing dealer acquaintance of mine told me we shouldn’t bother introducing our own line of steam presses. “A passing fad” I think was the way he described it. Boy, am I glad I didn’t listen to him. Our Empressa steam press sales have been a bright spot in a challenging economy and they continue to increase every year.
The basic idea behind steam presses is very simple… iron, without using an iron. As time has progressed, the pressing area has increased in size, and the temperature control has become much more consistent as they’ve incorporated new technologies.
We are very pleased to present the latest, and most advanced Empressa ever, the S550.
With apologies to readers who’ve been checking our blog, (since July 21st) waiting for a new postings. Well better late then never right?
The truth is that my absence has been equal part work overload (thankfully, Art is back today) and part hesitation as to what to do with this whole blog thing. I have to admit I haven’t quite figured out what approach this blog should be taking. But for the time being, I’m going to trust my instincts and just forge ahead with some straight news, and whatever else pops into my head.
So without further ado, it’s time to get back to posting.
Last month we launched the new Digital Velocity V100 compact vapor generator iron. Like any new product, you do the work, sit back, and hope that you’ve gotten someone’s attention. We had so much anticipation for the new V100, (particularly amongst quilters and sewers) so when it finally arrived and started to sell like hot cakes, well to say the least, we were very, very happy (kinda like a proud parent).
For those of you who are curious about the new V100, please call your local dealer for a demo. If they don’t have one, implore that they buy one for their showroom. This is a very special iron, and you are going to love it. I promise.
Here’s another great “how-to” video done by Real Simple Magazine. A great watch if you have a couple of spare minutes and want to learn a few shirt ironing tricks. I’m sure I’ve seen that iron somewhere before!
Stumbled upon a great “how-to” video done by Real Simple magazine. A great watch if you have a couple of spare minutes and want to learn a few ironing tricks. Pretty cool iron too!
