    Pressing is one of my quilting challenges. I'd like to get a new iron - maybe a small, craft-size one. Can anyone recommend a good quality iron that won't cost me a fortune?

    I have had a Black & Decker Digital Advantage for several years. It's a good steam and a dry iron, but it's a regular size.

    anything that is A-heavy, B- does not steam, C-does not auto cut off! I love the older black and decker ones...

    You don't have to spend a fortune for a good iron.

    Do you have the Sew Ezi tables? Was wondering if you would recommend them to others?
