The little Clover wand iron is great for the starch method of applique. For right next to my machine, I covered the top of a wooden tv table with batt and canvas and I use a little Sharptek "baby" iron - no steam, pretty darn hot, works great for pressing seams and for the applique. $8 at Joann.
I just bought that Petite Press but it's still in the package, so thanks for the review. I'll get that puppy out and put it to use.
