I have about half a dozen irons at any one time. I find good vintage irons at yard sales and thrift stores and when one of mine acts up it goes in the trash. I found two of the Black and Decker Classic irons on clearance for $8 at Lowes several years ago. They are good irons. So far the Continental dry iron has been the best for quilting. I bought the Reliable and my DD borrowed it and has never brought it back. She keeps 'forgetting'. LOL I don't mind. She irons her clothes. I don't do clothes.
