There was another post here about a week or so ago, saying that the DRY iron at Vermont Country Store was a great iron.
Well, I should get that iron BECAUSE I use the same watering can to water my plants and fill my iron. There was a little of the water left in the container and I didn't empty it out. So when I needed water in my iron, I poured the water into the iron. Well, something smelled a little fishy even though I had not cooked any fish. Then I remembered the African violet liquid fertilizer was put into the iron and was now smelling up my clean shirt.
The ladies on the board said that the steam can distort the blocks. I have been pressing my blocks without steam and it is working out. I have a Rowenta and it only sometimes leaks. I has worked well for me.
