I'm on my second Clover mini iron. I use mine almost daily. I purchased it to use when making tiny doll clothes; but use it in quilting for applique, to press seams when I don't want to get up from the sewing machine and go to the ironing board, to re press a seam that I have pressed in the wrong direction, etc. I keep the iron in a ceramic mug by my sewing machine so that it is always handy. I have a small pressing board to use with it.
