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??
I don't remember the directions either, however, in one of my sewing classes the instructor showed everyone how her husband attached/spliced an on/off switch to the cord so she could turn it off and on. I haven't asked my husband to do this yet. I did purchase a Rowenta traveling iron which I like very much. I can iron 'in the hoop' when I am embroidering and you can use the steam setting or not. I like it very much.
