I have 2 mini-irons. One is called Monster and the other is by Dritz. They are great for pressing seams while piecing blocks but I like my full sized iron when pressing the completed block. They both take water but I use them dry.
I also do not use the F&P glove nor do any of my quilting buddies.
I use the Slidelock --I find my strips are more evenly cut and the handle keeps my hand out of the way of the cutter. I have Black & Decker electric scissors but never think to use them. I used them more for garment sewing. I have small circles of circular clear plastic that sticks on the rulers--can't find the package right now--seems they are called Tru-grips or something like that. Bought those at a sewing machine store. I also watched the instructor on OnPoint video and she uses a small amount of adhesive spray on her larger rulers.
