I was lucky to find an old Rowenta at Goodwill for $5 and it works fine. It's a heavy iron, which I like and it has a narrow, point, great for pressing seams. I just wish it got just a tad more hot on the highest setting.
I'm currently taking a class on Craftsy with Elizabeth Hartman and she has a very nice iron that I've been coveting. It also has a long, narrow point. I don't know what brand it is, but I'd like to find out.
