    Irons

    My Rowena Iron$$$ is now burning my hand when I iron.

    What is your favorite Iron and why?

    I appreciate your thoughts!

    I use a B & D Classic. It's sturdy, and lasts a good long while.

    If you still have the box and paperwork see about returning it. I assume the hand you're using to hold/guide. No matter how hot, shouldn't burn your hand.

    My favorite iron is a Continental Dry Iron. I purchased mine from Amazon ($40), but I have read that it can be purchased at Home Depot for a little less. I use it for all my quilting, but purchased it originally for fusible. Since there are no steam holes, there are no unfused dots. It doesn't have an auto-off option, gets hot fast and stays hot. I don't use steam, just a spray bottle of water or 1/2 & 1/2 water and Best Pressed.

    I like my Reliable Digital Velocity V100. It produces great steam, although I usually use it dry. I had a Rowenta that failed within the warranty period, and dealing with their western region service center was probably the worst service experience I've ever had. When the same iron failed again just after it was out of warranty I decided never to buy Rowenta again, even though I loved that iron (when it was working).

    I have two Reliables and love them both. IMHO they really do what they advertise. The orange model has an over ride to disable the auto shut off. I use that one for my quilting and the big blue one for clothing.

    Anyone try the iron with the little feet that go up and down?

    Iron with feet.

    I have that iron and I love it. I probably would have had a fire without it. It allows me to set the iron down without worrying about it setting my ironing board on fire.
