But that name is a true misnomer. Even though labeled as “mini”, the small size really packs a punch and makes it one of the most useful notions in any sewing or crafting studio. It’s simple, our pressing stations need to keep pace with the almost explosive growth of sewing and craft techniques and applications we see today. Let’s…
