My Rowenta iron is relatively new, 2 yrs. old, It makes me nervous as the heating cycle seems to go to such big extremes, makes ironing inconsistent... leaves me wondering and waiting for the possible malfunction. I have been unplugging or not leaving but for moments.
Seems to work better when I iron for long durations as when ironing clothes vs short bursts when quilting...
Seem to think I would like to have one of those fancy irons that is geared to quilting, can't think of the name, but have heard mixed reviews there too.
