Can anyone recommend an iron suitable for embossing velvet fabrics? I'm thinking I need a craft iron that doesn't have holes in the plate.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

It's not an iron, but ElnaPress is supposed to be great at embossing velvet. No steam, so no holes in the plate plus consistent pressure.

Checkout the one at Hot Potatoes.hot potatoes.

Mary O'Neil recommonds this one and she does do a lot of velvet embossing.
