I bought on for applique and use it for tiny things. Otherwise I still like my regular iron.

I also have the Hobbico iron that I have seen Eleanor Burns use on TV. It gets very hot, has a nice point -- does not have auto shut-off so I have scorched my ironing board cover a few times. |
I have one and keep in in a cup, I find it does real well on small block seams and use it at my machine when pieceing. For the whole block I get up and use my big iron. I do also have a small travel iron and use it somethimes.

I have one and don't use it too often but it is a God-send when working on a gridded project, with those little squares.
I have also used it on some of my PPing quilts.....some of the seams are so tiny, that this little iron comes in quite handy. As I said, I don't use it often frequently but am glad to have it when needed. |
I have one. don't use it often, but it did the job when I was using my embroidery machine doing quilt blocks in the hoop.

I bought one to take to retreats to use on my little table by my side. I burned myself multiple times, put it away and have never used it again. I bought a Rowenta travel-size iron at Bed, Bath and Beyond using a coupon. I love it. I consider my Clover Iron a waste of my money. From reading all of the posts, it appears that the iron has some design problems or this board has a bunch of klutzes!

I got mine to press seams when quilting, but found it quite awkward and too time consuming. It does come in handy though for prepping small applique pieces when using starch and folding over the small seam allowance.
|
I like it for fusing, when I can remember to get it out.
|
I only use mine for paper piecing.
