I have the original Clover and once I learned (here on this board! ;) ) that you have to cycle it off and on a few times to get it to heat up enough, it's been great for the starch-method of preparing applique pieces.

I'm thinking of getting one with interchangeable tips, though. The plate on this one is actually too big sometimes - a wand shape or a very small flat shape would work better on some pieces.

I also have a cute little Sharptek iron that is really great for this type of applique, for pressing seams on blocks and for paper foundation piecing. Aside from being cute as can be, they're really good for places where you need a larger sole plate. http://polymerclayexpress.com/equip.html

I have the small iron that you get for $9.99 at different places, comes in colors, mine is pink, the cord is a regular size and it plugs into the side, so it is heavy and gets in the way and the iron never gets hot enough. So needless to say, put it up and out of the way. Didn't think it was useful at all. So its up and down and back to the regular iron and ironing board. Thinking about just getting the smallest iron Walmart has and try it. I have the wooden tv tray covered with batting and duck fabric, to use by my sewing cabinet. Now it is really handy, so maybe I can find a smaller iron.

I use mine for small pieces of applique

I've had one for several years. Thought it would be good to
press open seams on small pieces, as I go along. I don't use
it, just seems it doesn't get hot enough...or something?

Oh yeah, I don't have the one she pictures, mine s a Clover too.

I ahve the original Clovre, too. I've used it for applique, paper piecing and I make fabric boxes that I use it on.

Yes i have this and love it. It is clover and I got it at Joanns a couple months ago with coupon. I has a guard, the red thing so you don't get burnt. I am using mine currently for OBW seams.
