Best for: Ease of use

Morphy Richards is a well-loved iron brand and their latest 303250 cordless iron is perfect for quilters. It sits on a unique 360 degree base, making it easy to grab and replace from any angle.
It’s cordless, allowing you to press your fabrics without getting tangled. It claims to charge within 25 seconds and take just 40 seconds to heat up. It also boasts 30 minutes of continuous steam, which combined with the fast charging time, means you can press your projects more efficiently.
It has plenty of brilliant features such as an auto-turn off function, temperature control and it comes with a three-year warranty.
Best for: Practicality

This nifty little cordless iron for quilting is a fan favourite. It’s affordable, portable and easy to use, making it ideal for quilters of all abilities.
It has one of the fastest reheat times on the market – just seven seconds! It also has a water mister (great for steaming and pressing wrinkle fabrics), a six-ounce water tank capacity and comes with a two year warranty.
Our favourite thing about this mini cordless iron has to be how lightweight it is. It’s also small, allowing you to grip without any strain and pack it away neatly in your craft cupboard.
Best for: Efficiency

This dual-tipped, cordless model from Panasonic is ideal for quilters who need to iron tight corners and large projects.
It has a truly ergonomic design with its curved edges and pointed tips. This design allows you to iron with the entire soleplate and in any direction, making your pressing journey much more efficient!

Best for: Value for money

This bargain produced by Tower makes a wonderful quilting iron. Available in a few different colourways, this cordless iron for quilters is a great option for beginners.
Its powerful 2400W outage and steam burst function works brilliantly to remove tough creases. It heats up in 30 seconds and has a 360ml water tank, saving you from going back and forth to the sink to refill it!
The Tower T22008 comes with a three year guarantee and is suitable for those wanting to try their first cordless iron.
Best for: Removing difficult creases

This ceramic cordless iron is another fantastic option from the Panasonic brand. It has the signature dual-tipped soleplate and comes with all the features of its smaller counterpart (the NI-WL600).
This one is a little more heavy-duty, weighing more with a slightly wider soleplate. Some quilters may prefer this heavier option as it can be more effective at pressing thick materials.
If you struggle with wrist pain, we’d recommend opting for a lighter iron and picking a quilting glove.
Best for: Aesthetics

For those of you looking for an aesthetically pleasing cordless iron, we’ve found just the one! This sleek Beldray cordless iron comes in this beautiful rose gold colour and has a swirling design as its base.
It’s a great iron for quilting too. The base is both pretty and practical, recharging your iron in just five seconds. It has various temperature settings for different fabrics as well as a large 300ml water tank. This iron works as well as it looks!
Best for: Clever design

Dubbed the desktop iron, this mini cordless iron has an ingenious design. Not only can you recharge the iron through the base, but the cord also wraps up neatly underneath it. We also love the light on the base which indicates when your iron is charging.
Ready for use in just 30 seconds and with 25 seconds of steam performance, this cordless iron for quilting gets the job done swiftly and smoothly. It’s the definition of work smarter not harder!
Best for: Quicker ironing time

This cordless iron for quilting from Tefal is hoping to reduce your ironing time. It has a ceramic soleplate and can produce 35 minutes of steam – one of the longest we’ve found.
This, coupled with its 11-second recharge time, means you can get more ironing done without having to stop.
It’s lightweight, agile and is the perfect iron to accompany you while you stitch all our free quilting patterns!
Cordless irons are brilliant for all crafters, but they’re especially handy for quilters. Press and finish your projects with ease and tuck your new cordless iron for quilting away when you’re done.
These lightweight, nifty little machines will soon become your quilting BFF!
