I do use the shaver/stitch remover sometimes--have to hold one side in my teeth to get enough tension for it to work but it does help at times--like if I pick up two pieces of fabric stuck together or sew on the wrong side of the fabric. Never got into the Pounce--think I'll just pass on that. I don't have the energy to whack it 100 times!! I'd be ready for a nap! I don't like the little Clover Iron I bought recently. It is very lightweight. The cord is heavier than the iron itself--and it doesn't get hot enough.
