Setting Up & Using a Gravity Feed Iron | Unboxing | PLUS Waxing & Ironing Sewing Threads

Описание: 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-Fe...

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!
