Setting Up & Using a Gravity Feed Iron | Unboxing | PLUS Waxing & Ironing Sewing Threads
Hello!
Do you have questions about gravity feed irons?
- What are they?
- How do they work?
- What makes them different from other types of irons?
- How do you use them?
What you really want to know is: “Are they any good? Should I buy one???!”
This video aims to answer all those questions!
Follow along as I unbox my Silver Star Industrial ES-300, get to grips with all its components, set it up, explain how it works and show you how to use it.
I also demonstrate how to wax and iron linen sewing thread. 😉
I purchased my 220 volt gravity feed iron on Ebay from a seller in the US:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gravity-Feed-Steam-Iron-220-volt-Silver-Star-Industrial-ES-300-Not-110V-power/161860286794?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
It’s the only model I found, after about a year of researching, that is wired for 220v so that it does not need a currency converter (like this: https://amzn.to/2ELmJOD) . It did come with a European plug however so still needed an adapter to plug into UK mains (like this: https://amzn.to/2Dfz3Ga)
Any questions, please do ask in the comments below.
Happy ironing!
