I use a dry iron, a Continental, I got on amazon.com. Love it. It gets really hot and doesn't have an automatic shut off. Best of all, the sole plate is solid with no holes for steam, so every inch of fabric gets pressed. If I need moisture, I just spritz water. It's great for starching, too. Any extra buildup on the sole plate is really easy to clean (once the iron has cooled). I've had mine for two years and it works like new.
