I hated ironing so I would never buy clothes that needed ironing. So I do not know why, but years ago, I bought a light Black and Decker iron. It sat in the drawer until I started quilting 2 years ago. I began using the iron, and it works just fine - knew it was good for something! It is great, I only use it dry for pressing seams but with steam for pressing wrinkled fabric. No teflon bottom, no auto shut off, but I like it. I don't think B&D make them any more either!
