My favorite small scissors is a Finny it is very narroew at the tip and cuts right to the tip. I also like my dish magnet from the hardware store. I uae my clover iron only for 1/4 bias tape. The Iron I take to retreats is a iron that is bigger then a clover with a wedge end and long handle. I never seam to find a travel iron that heats enough. I also like a silicone iton pad to put my iron on when I am using it often
