mini irons
#1
does anyone have those little mini irons with the attachments? supposed to be for quilters where you can really get into those seams. they are pretty pricey though and then the attachments are bought extra.

I have the Clover mini iron with a few attachments. I bought the 'new' design (as the package says) that has an additional safety factor built in to the design.
Well, let me tell you that I obviously am not bright enough to use this mini iron. First time I plugged it in, I thought to myself, "Now DON'T touch it here, or you'll get burned!"
So who knows the end of this story? Yup, I grabbed the mini iron in the ONLY place you're not supposed to grab it, and burned the heck out of my fingers.
I can't tell you if it is good for seams or not, because I unplugged it, put it away, and probably will never plug it in again until I feel like I have developed enough of an IQ to use it without causing great pain to myself.

I have the Clover and it's okay - a little faster than using a wooden "iron."
I also have a little (TINY!) iron by Sharptek - it's in the iron section at Joann for about $7.00. Very, very cute and much easier to handle than the Clover wand-type iron. I think it's hotter, too, which I like. The heat is not adjustable, but for my purposes, it doesn't matter. I use it while paper piecing.
The only thing I don't like about it is that the cord keeps falling out of the iron. I am going to glue it in with E6000 the next time I use it.
