Love mine. Use it for paper piecing all the time and also for applying the adhesive bias tape when doing stained glass applique. I also have an embroidery machine so while my appliqued items are still in the hoop I can use the mini iron to attach the appliqued pieces.
I made tiny perfect ironing pad by stapling batting and a piece of flannel over a pice of 1X6". I keep it close to the sewing machine so I can use the iron without moving... a good idea for paper piecing!!!!
