Sherri,
I have found that my mini Osliso iron handle gets extremely hot. Do you have that problem?
Thanks for all you do. I have enjoyed this process and LOVE the design.

Hi Sunnye, Thanks so much. I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying the process of making your Greenhouse Garden quilt! I did find on my M2 Oliso iron that the handle could get warm of the setting was on “high” for a prolonged period of time. I recently upgraded to the M3 Oliso mini iron (mainly because it now has an auto-off and I can rest it with the hot side perpendicular to the pressing surface). I have noticed that the handle on the new M3 model doesn’t get hot even when the iron has been in high for a while. –Sheri
