Kaffe Fassett + Oliso: A Colorful Collaboration for the Modern Quilter
The Kaffe Fassett Oliso iron collection is a bold, limited-edition set of tools made for quilters who want color, performance, and style. Kaffe Fassett is known for fearless color choices and strong visual impact. His fabrics and designs are found in sewing rooms all over the world. Now, he’s partnered with Oliso to bring that bold style to your ironing station. The result is a smart, coordinated line of pressing tools that brighten your space and improve your workflow. Each item in this lineup works great on its own, but together, they’re next level. Let’s walk through each one so you can decide what belongs in your cart.
The Full-Sized Kaffe Smart Iron
First up is the full-sized Smart Iron. It features Oliso’s signature auto-lift technology, which raises the iron when you release the handle. This helps avoid tipping and reduces wrist fatigue. Plus, it heats up fast and offers reliable steam control for consistent pressing. The diamond ceramic soleplate glides across fabric with ease. Even better, the body of the iron features Kaffe’s iconic floral design in bold purples and blues. That means your ironing setup looks just as good as your quilt top.
If you’re ready to upgrade, this is the one to get.

The Kaffe Mini Project Iron
Next, let’s talk about the Kaffe Mini Project Iron. It’s small but surprisingly powerful. This mini version is perfect for travel, classes, or keeping right next to your sewing machine. The diamond ceramic soleplate heats quickly and distributes heat evenly. That’s ideal for small seams, paper piecing, or quick pressing between steps. It also supports dual voltage, so you can take it abroad without worry. The playful pink-and-purple floral print makes it easy to spot in a group sewing space.
In short, this little iron punches well above its size.

The Kaffe Ironing Board Cover
This ironing board cover is an easy way to refresh your pressing surface. It fits most standard-sized boards and installs with a secure strap system and elastic edges. Not only does it stay in place, but it also adds color and personality. The padded surface provides excellent support for pressing quilt blocks and garments. Better yet, it’s scorch-resistant and made from heavy-duty cotton. Since I have a non-standard ironing board at home, I’ll be using this one at my next retreat. It’s a great way to bring some Kaffe flair to any shared workspace.

The Kaffe Pressing Cloth
Let’s not overlook this one—because it’s not just any pressing cloth. This cloth is designed by Kaffe Fassett himself and is part of the Kaffe Fassett Oliso iron collection. It’s sheer enough to see through, which helps with accurate placement. I use mine for fusible appliqué, vinyl, or any fabric I don’t want scorched or shiny. It’s machine washable, which is always a plus. And the bold design ties in perfectly with the rest of the collection. A pressing cloth may not seem exciting, but this one absolutely earns a spot on your ironing board.

The Kaffe Carry Bag (Not in My Unboxing Video, But Still Worth Mentioning)
Even though this wasn’t in my unboxing video, the Kaffe Carrying Case is worth adding to your setup. It’s designed to fit the Mini Project Iron, so it’s ideal for classes or retreats. The padded interior protects your iron while you travel. Plus, there’s an internal pocket to stash the cord or your pressing cloth. The bold floral exterior means you’ll never mix it up with someone else’s gear. While it’s not large enough for the full-size iron, it’s perfect for smaller tools. This is a smart pick if you sew on the go.
