I have one of these - I bought it really just for decoration (since, like you say, it looked so cute). Now that I've read in many places that people actually use them, I have a question. I seem to remember in the instructions (which I can no longer find) that you shouldn't leave it on for more than 10 minutes at a time. Is this correct, or am I dreaming??
Actually I don't remember reading that, I haven't had a problem. All I know is that you don't put water in it. Has worked fine. Going to use it for hopefully lifting fused applique to put the stem under. I actually like the fact that it stands up like an iron. You really need to be careful with the clover, because of the hot open steel area on it. I can see burning myself with that! :lol: :lol:
