Yes, it is a crafter's tool, for quick presses when traveling, attending college, or doing small mini quilts. It takes three to five minutes to warm up enough to press. My Mo. friend brought it to me and is called "Darlee's Crafters tool...mini crafting iron. She press her quilt that is 79 by 99 inches so she could take it across the road to the LA quilter here. It looks like a play iron to me....but I learned something new...thought it would get a good laugh and we can always use a good laugh. LOL!!
