Isn't there a device that allows us to keep the iron flat? I have a silicone iron rest I'm supposed to be able to put the iron down on although I don't do that. I don't have any wrist or similar issues so not really a need of mine. At our quilt shop they have a Rival iron that costs under $10 and it gets hot and if someone puts water in it it makes nice
steam. I'm thinking of getting one. Right now I have a black and decker digital advantage which I'm not sure they even make. It is nice. I also have a rowenta that I don't put water in because it leaks.
