I have one and use it for ITH projects such as mini picture frames and zipper pouches. I love it!! I read some posts above that said theirs don't get hot enough- mine gets really hot! I really like it for little areas. I do not use any attachments. I use it just the way it came. I did ask DH for a wooden rack that I can lay it on between uses. The little iron rest thingy that came with it does not seem very stable.
