I had one with the opposite problem....with a Rowenta it heated out of control, it actually melted the thread in one of my quilts ( I had used a poly cotton blend in the bobbin). It just kept getting hotter and hotter and not stopping, nor would it shut off of after no activity. This was after years of service, but the damage to the peiced units was ... huge. I had to re- stitch alot of work. I think the thermostat went ... My new one is doing fine 6 years with this one. Love the level of steam I get from the Rowenta.
