I have an inexpensive Hamilton Beach travel arm steam iron that I use exclusively for pressing seams. It is perfect! The only thing I don't like about it is that it does not have an on/off switch, so I have to remember to unplug it. I have a Proctor-Silex mid-size steam iron, again, not expensive, that I use for pressing fabric and the quilt top when finished. I've been very pleased with both. I know that Rowenta's supposed to be wonderful, but I've read so many negative reviews, that I don't think I want one. My quilting group has one we keep set up when we get together, and it is nice, I admit, but it is also heavy. My arthritic hands don't care much for that iron!
