For home tailoring, quilting, and detailed sewing, the Quik Press is a dream. While a handheld iron has its place, the large 9-by-22-inch padded surface of this tabletop unit presses more fabric at once, making it ideal for professionally setting pleats, gathers, and pant leg creases, as well as fusing interfacing. The tapered end neatly shapes contoured sleeves and darts, while the hole-free nonstick metal shoe plate makes appliqués and heat transfers a crafter?s delight. A temperature dial and pressure selector–either 50 or 100 pounds–lets the press smooth everything from delicate nylon to wrinkle-prone linen. An automatic shutoff adds safety, and the nonstick cotton cover conveniently removes for washing. The long handle keeps hands away from hot surfaces and locks shut when finished, making the press easy to carry to sewing circles. Since the press uses dry heat, a spray bottle is included for misting fabrics when desired. The press measures 23 by 20 by 8-1/2 inches, and is covered by a one-year warranty against defects. –Ann Bieri

As an avid quilter, this press has made pressing my quilt squares and design pieces a snap. It cuts my pressing time in half and holds my seams for piece quilting like a dream. I would recommend this NON steam press to all quilters. There is never any worry about water spots or leakage on your fabric. And when pressing my everyday shirts and pants, I have the option of the spritz spray bottle that is included if necessary. I found that the tempature control works exceptional for any fabric or clothing attire that I pressed. I will definitely tell all the members of my sewing guild about the many wonders of the Simplicity SP100 press.

I would have to say that amazon gave me a good deal and immediate delivery.
Unfortunatly i had to return this item . I havent been satisfied because the heating element heats up on the top rather than where it has to heat up. After ironing I could still see a lot of creases. They dont mention about the base being a wood plank either.
I have used a Simplicity machine earlier and hence i know the quality of steam press but this machine is a waste of time and money. I would rather buy a normal iron to this or pay extra and buy a better one. But this is just my opinion.

I received the press today. Considering the low price, I found the press very useful. The time it takes to reach temperature is just a few minutes, it’s super easy to use, and it doesn’t take up a huge amount of room on my sewing table. I pressed denim shorts, ribbons, and even a very wrinkled t-shirt successfully. The press is small so I can easily move it out of the way when I need more space. I am happy with it!
