My Sunbeam iron finally decided to go to the iron heaven in the sky. I grew up using Sunbeam appliances, my father, who was an electrician, would not buy anything but Sunbeam. My DH started looking for irons on Amazon and we decided on A Sunbeam Green Sense Steam Master Professional for around $50. Because I do so much sewing and quilting he said I deserved good tools. Sometimes he actually acknowledges that without sewing and quilting I am a very unhappy camper. Well, it arrived a couple days ago and last night I finally got my ducks in a row to iron the backlog of fabric that had been washed, but needed to be ironed. I was very happy with my new iron, as the sole plate is at least 2 inches longer than my old iron and it made shot work of my fabric pile. Then I grabbed my batch of fabrics destined to be zippered pouches, so I ironed all those fabrics, then added the fusible fleece and again, the iron made short work of my pile. So, in case you haven't noticed, I am very, very pleased with my new iron and I hope it lasts a log time like my previous one. This has been lengthy, I have trouble condensing my thoughts at times, but I hope it will give you an unsolicited review of a Sunbeam iron.
