sorry about the deleted post - figured that it was more a PM message than a public message!
anyway, I tried those little irons and didn't like them at all. Last year I bought this at the Sewing/Quilting Expo here in MN. I dont really use it unless I am on my quilt retreat since my iron at home is set up fairly close to my machine (and like others, I chain stitch so i can go awhile without having to iron). I love the hobby iron (make sure it has been recalibrated for pr specifically made for quilting) and is a gadget I would have a hard time giving up for retreat!
