I guess you need that bumper sticker that says: I stop at garage sales.

Fixed the first time by my electrical engineer husband (he had to take iron apart and solder the spade connector that attaches to the element) but he said to toss the second iron because he couldn't fix it easily.

Great finds! Take me shopping with you next time???
Thank You for the info on the dry iron, since I only gave $1.00 for it when it quits working I won't loose much!!

Great fabric finds, even coordinates. There are never any sewing or quilting related items in yard sales here.
