Durathon® Digital Iron with Retractable Cord Giveaway


How about we kick off the weekend with a fabric-friendly giveaway?  I've got a chance to give your summertime crafting a boost with an awesome new iron!  

The lovely folks at Hamilton Beach are giving one Sew Can Do reader a brand new Durathon® Digital Iron with Retractable Cord! 

I've got one of these myself and have fallen in love with using it this summer.  It's got some seriously fantastic features:

- Superior wrinkle removal
- 40% more continuous steam power than the leading competitor
- 10 times more durable than traditional nonstick 
- Scratch-resistant durability
- Superior glide performance + 10 year limited soleplate warranty
- Retractable cord
- Digital control panel
- 3-way auto shutoff
- Anti-drip
- Self clean


I also love Durathon's cheeky retro attitude (which is totally in line with my own):

       

The retractable cord is one of my favorite features.  I don't have to leave my iron out to cool all day just so I can wind up the cord anymore:) 


You can check out this iron in action in my new DIY Textured Throw Pillow Tutorial (created especially for Hamilton Beach's Everyday Good Living blog).  The serious steam power of the iron is part of achieving the amazing crinkled texture:


Now, here's your chance to win a Durathon iron for yourself!

    I would use it on anything that involves fabric, quilting, clothes making, crafts. I love the style and the retractable cord. it looks like it's very comfortable to use. I can't believe it has a 10 year warranty on the soleplate. That is amazing! Rina

    I'd use the iron to make quilts. Most of my pressing is on fabric & patches, etc. Every once in a great while I have to iron or touch up a blouse, but those blouses seem to pretty much stay in my closet. Thanks.

    I'd use it for quilting-my iron just isn't heavy or hot enough to do the job and this is the second one I've tried. Itd be wonderful to have an iron with a retractable cord-I am always leaving mine out to cool.

  51. GlendaAugust 3, 2015 at 1:36 AM

    This couldn't have come at a better time! My poor iron leaks, spits, & spews little pieces of calcium when I push the steam button lol. It would definitely be used for ironing my sewing fabric, it's all I do iron except occasionally ironing a wrinkled t-shirt or jeans. Right now I'm sewing pillow cases for kids in the hospital with cancer. Bless their little hearts going through so much at such a young age. I just pray these pillow cases cheer them up a little. I love to sew & my iron is about ready to quit. Thank you so much for the giveaway! Have a wonderful week & God bless. Good luck everyone.

    It sounds like a magnificent iron, sewist/quilter best friend. Just purchased some organic canvas to make a tote for me and would love to see Hamilton Beach Durathon Digital at work. I also need a new ironing board cover so I could test it on that too:) Thank you.

    My first quilt! I have all the fabric ready to go. It's this one http://robertkaufman.squarespace.com/patterns-and-projects/quilted-love-panel-quilt.html and you can tell by the fact that this fabric is no longer available that I've been ready for a while. I'm waiting for my kids to start back at school to begin it!

    I use an iron every day in my sewing room - my iron is on practically all day ready to press my quilt blocks in progress, or pressing fabric ready to be cut for making quilt blocks or childrens clothes that I make for my grandchildren.
