Hi, I have a Rowenta and it works OK, but does leak and sputter which is annoying. I just rec'd the latest Quiltmaker magazine and there's a new iron for quilters on page 10. It says 'no spitting' and guaranteed not to leak.
It's called the Velocity V50 and is supposedly designed for either right or left handers. This caught my eye because I am leftie. I have no idea where we can see or test them but, the website listed is reliablecorporation.com and advertised price is $99.
Although I am not rushing out to purchase one, I am in the market for another iron to have down at my farm house. I keep dreaming of the day when I'll have free time to sew down there. Let me know if you find a good deal on irons.... I am not a purist and just want something that works reliably at an affordable price.
