I bought a ProGlide years ago at LQS and it is my favorite iron. It was expensive but worth it. When I'm sewing and pressing I hate the "auto off" irons. I want my iron to stay on and hot. I've bought 2 or 3 cheap irons that I didn't like. Then I finally found one at CVS pharmacy that didn't have the auto off feature. Thats what I now use in the sewing area. Its a Round The House. Cost me less than $15.
