I bought a new Rowenta in November ( after I knocked my old one off the board and broke it), it quit working in December. Takeing it back this weekend to Macys (store is 200 miles away) Using an old B&D now, but its not heavy enough. I don't know what to get. Irons are such an important part of quilting. I don't remember having this problem when irons were made in the USA.
