  • A review of my gravity-feed iron, the Silverstar ES-90.
    In my video I neglected to mentioned two things:
    1) I purchased an IV pole from Amazon to hang my water reservoir. (see link below) It should hang at least 3 feet high.
    2) The iron does NOT have an automatic shut-off.
    Tunic/top I am wearing in this video is the Mesa by Seamwork: www.seamwork.c...

    IV pole is a great idea! I won't have to worry about where to mount my tank since I have limited space. Thank you!!

    Thanks for the video - I just got mine and was a little confused about the height/hose but you cleared that up. Just a note - I was watching a video by a retailer who sells these types of irons and they said not to use it for upright steaming.

    That is an elaborate system you have now. Very exciting! I hope it continues to meet all of your expectations, Emily.😊❤️

    I'd never remember to close the hose valve. Seems like an elaborate and costly set up to avoid filling the iron as often. I mean, it's neat, but it seems more relevant to professional sewists. But it's interesting to see how it works. Thanks for sharing.

    The exact thing happened to me. My Rowenta started leaking all over. I have replaced it with a gravity feed iron.

      Its the best iron I have ever owned! The handle tends to get a little warm but that's a minor issue to me. I just couldn't believe the amount of steam that came out and how well it pressed open seams. I should have purchased one of these a long time ago.

    How does this iron do on synthetics? Does it tend to melt the fabric?

    • @SewcalSewcialite
      @SewcalSewcialite  Před rokem +1

      I haven't had any issues with synthetics. I do recommend using a pressing cloth. I hope this helps 🙂

    Is the steam button easy to press? When using a regular iron my thumb begins to hurt if I’m doing a lot of repetitive pressing while quilting

    It's been 3 years since you posted this, I'm curious how things are going now for you with this iron? Is it still working well? I'm debating which model to get.

      Hi there! I know my comment is late, but I finally splurged on a boiler iron. I did like the gravity feed iron (great for the price point), but having to hang it was a bit cumbersome but workable 🙂

    what if you don't use the iron everyday do you still keep the water in the big bottle thing and the resin, also if you are done using it how do you get the rest of the water out of the iron? I am asking because I don't have a permeant station.

    • @SewcalSewcialite
      @SewcalSewcialite  Před 4 lety

      Honestly, if I have to set up the iron every time I needed it didn't have a dedicated space for it, I probably wouldn't have a gravity-feed iron. Instead, i would get this since it would be easier to move around: amzn.to/33MWi5l

      It's a great iron, so you can't really wrong. Sure, you can set it up every time you have to use it, I suppose, or just wheel it into storage somewhere. I'm sure you can make it work and it will be just fine 😎
