I have the petite press and a clover. I do use them, but what I found better for me was a small Black and Decker iron from Walmart that I do not add water to. I keep it to the right of my sewing table on an old nightstand that I have a small ironing board (made from a very small bulletin board, batting, and teflon iron quick) and a rotating cutting board sitting on the stand. The iron is small enough to sit on the board and right at hand when I need it. Cost 15.00. Perfect for pressing seams.
