Hi, Kate. I bought mine at a church garage sale for $5--whoever was pricing didn't know a thing about sewing. I think it is a great tool, but I don't know that I would spend $24 for it. froggyintexs

The flier with the scratchoff was the last one. The first I've received since getting home from ARiz. for the winter. There was no scratchoff on this wk.'s flier.

I don't have this one however, the craft iron I have did come with a variety of tips. But, I only use the triangle one therefore, perhaps you might be overpaying for something (all the tips) that you might not use. So would a smaller version with less tips be cheaper? calla

Yes I had one, I keep using it and the metal would burn my fingers as I was always holding down the fabric to be ironed. The metal iron part is moving and my fingers holding would meet alot. I got a mini iron I love it.
conair, it is 8x3 inches, It is great gets in small places, doesn't take much room on my small ironing spot. Pretty cheap too!

I think the mini iron is a step up from finger- pressing, but certainly does not take the place of an iron.

I had one without all the extras, it was $25. It worked pretty good but I kept burning my hand or fingers on the long metal "tube" part so I got rid of it. Now I use a travel iron, too. It's a good size and works well. Don't mean to discourage you from getting the mini-iron, you may be more careful than I was.

Some people like them. I have one of the original ones and it never worked-was a waste of my money. Good luck and if you get one let us know if it works well for you.

Since I machine embroider - I tried playing with the "Piece in the Hoop". You HAVE to use some kind of mini iron to do this without touching the hoop.

Now I'm messing around with a Dresden Plate. Just got the pieces sewn and corners turned. Big iron too big. Even the teflon coated sealing iron is too big. I dragged out the Clover, and am using the long attachment as I can't clean the large iron shaped one.

I also like heirloom sewing and combined that with doll clothes. Those mini irons and a spray bottle were all you could use on some garments.

I do a lot of paper piecing and the iron is great for that.

I have the original white one and the newer red one with attachments. Original one did not get hot enough so never use it. Use the red one a lot -- sits right next to my machine to do 1/4" seams and is really great for the small areas --wouldn't want it for bigger pieces/blocks. Stand is a joke -- needs help to stabilize -- cup, tile, wooden stand that is sold in some places -- kind of like you need for glue guns. Love the iron but hardly ever use attachments.
