Clover Mini iron
#14
I love mine for paper piecing and fusible bias for stained glass. It gets VERY hot and had a burn on my thigh for a while when I used it while wearing shorts and I dropped it. Ouch. Just like all our tools, you have to be careful. Rotary cutters, seam rippers, sharp scissors, etc. We have a dangerous vocation. :-)

I have one of the older ones, small head, white handle, and use it more then I thought I would. It takes the iron a few times after being turned to the hottest sitting to reach the full temp. After that it gets hot very fast. I bought the holder made for it and there is no problem with it falling over. One thing, if the cord is not put on right, the lay of the cord will twist making the iron wanting to twist. Keep taking it back until you find one that has the right cord lay. It took me four tries. You'd think Clover would have better quality control on the assembly line. I burned myself one time. For some reason I used my finger to push the head of the iron down on a seam. I haven't done that again.

I use mine for in the hoop pressing. It doesn't do very well for me with the seam work. It is a little unstable when you go to lay it down but I always use the stand that came with it and have avoided burns.

The stand that comes with is is not worth having. The wooden ones like this work great.
