If your present iron is working well, don't waste money on a new one. I moved all my quilting from my house out to my shed and took my old Black and Decker travel iron with me. It has a stainless steel surface, get very hot, and I bought it on Ebay a few years back for under $10. I also use a Black and Decker steam iron in the house for ironing clothing. I recommend using starch, particularly if you pre-wash. I use either Magic Sizing or StaFlo (1part starch and 2 parts water) in a spray bottle. StaFlo is the cheaper way to go.
