Jiffy_logoSteamerI am about to rock your world and you don't even know it yet.

Meet the Jiffy Steamer. It has changed my life. First, to "stick to the knitting", I use it for blocking my finished work. You just lay your garment pieces on a towel on a table, hit it with the steamer and you can get edges to lie flat in a jiffy. Now, if you are the type who completely soaks a garment and pins it to a board, etc. this might not be for you. But for the rest of us, you'll be amazed at the results.

But well beyond that usage, a steamer can almost totally rid your life of ironing! Anything that you can hand wash, you can steam.

Silk blouse with ruffles: steam 'em. 
T-shirts that get wrinked sitting in the drawer: steam 'em.
Something you've worn once, but needs a lift: steam it.
Jeans that get hung dry and stiff: steam 'em and they're soft and ready to go.
Silk scarves, shawls: steam 'em, steam 'em. 
Slips, silk teddies that get worn twice a year, nightgowns: steam 'em, steam 'em, steam 'em.
Table cloths, napkins, pillowcases, curtains, unworn pashminas since 2002: say it with me now: STEAM 'EM.

I keep mine right in my closet and it heats up in less than 2 minutes.
I bought the $189.00 one at jiffysteamer.com. Right now they are doing a fundraiser for breast cancer, with 10% going to the cause. You also have to pay for shipping - but I am telling you, if you hate to iron, you won't be sorry.

So, that's all from PSN (Purl Shopping Network) - Now let's take some callers:
Christine from Chicago - you are on the air!

One of the best infomercials ever. ;)

I love my steamer! You're right! It's one of the best things I've ever bought! (much better than the Jack LaLane juicer. Ok, actually, I never bought that because everything that comes out of it looks gross.)

Does the steamer do button down shirts too??? How portable is this thing? Is it a space hog too? Will someone like me .... 2 left hands and no thumbs ...burn myself or is it totally idiot proof....careful....think about it before you answer...you know me well....signed ...helpless and chronically wrinkled...
