When the iron stops moving for a set period, it automatically reduces heat output or enters a safe mode to prevent scorching. This is different from Oliso’s auto-lift approach — Reliable manages heat rather than physically lifting the iron.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow does the 260IR compare to the Oliso TG1600?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eBoth are premium professional quilting irons with safety technology. The Oliso physically lifts off the fabric; the Reliable auto-sensor manages heat. Some quilters prefer one approach over the other.
