My iron is a Hamilton Beach that I got at Target a year or so ago. It gets hot quickly and steams really well. If I had the money, I would LOVE to have the iron they use on the Missouri Star Quilt new tutorials. It is an Oliso smart iron and costs around $160. But it has the neatest feature: it raises itself up just seconds after you set it down. No more worrying (for me, anyway) about my iron tipping over. Maybe I can ask Santa on one this coming Christmas.
