Has anyone ever used the clover mini iron?
#63
I was just ready to buy a Clover and a friend at guild showed me her travel iron. It isn't much different in size, and she said she loved hers. Thought that was a good recommendation for me! Put it on my Christmas List, and our daughter bought one for me. Don't know where they got it, but can find out if you like. I tried Wal-Mart, but they didn't have any. Mariah.

I use it on block seams and small projects but then i got a small rowenta steam iron and that does those jobs and so much more that the clover just sits in the drawer. I wouldnt buy one but if you have it its a good little item.

I've had one for years. It gets hot and I've used it to remove excess organza fabric around embroidered dolls and clothes. I've also used it in place of a hot iron to set rhinestones. It works to make quick pressing on things still in an embroidery hoop.

Hi GailG, so glad to help,I also find the mini iron useful for turning over the seam allowance over freezer paper.Do you think it would be a good idea for all those clever inventive ladies out ther to come up with ideas for those of us with hand/ finger, and other difficulties? By the way I do so agree with another poster-- do be so careful with the gap on the top of the handle--- it gets hot-hot- hot.My lovely husband always puts my burn spray, with warnings next to may table when he sees me using it!Love Letty

I bought mine at a church garage sale, still unopened in the package, for $5, and think it was a great investment! It is great for use in small spaces and I would think it would be super for doll clothes. froggyintexas

I have had the Clover mini iron for years and used it once and did not feel comfortable with it. Recently I bought the Dritz Petite Press and absolutely love it. It has a very comfortable adjustable handle so the little iron can be positioned at whatever angle you are comfortable holding it, easy to press buttons to turn it on and off and set the adjustable temperature, a long cord, and a little stand that folds out to hold the iron up when you set it down. It has 4 heat settings and heats up very quickly. I think it would be great for making doll clothes.
