Yup this! Mine is from the same time frame.

:hunf:

same here !!! wow sew handy,

next to the machine, small ironing station, every seam gets a press and blocks are really accurate

I have one and plugged it in to make sure it works. That's the only time I've ever used it. :cry: Found a black and decker travel iron that I like and do use it some times. :lol: The B&D is much more comfortable in my hand.

:lol: Fingers were too uncoordinated and I hit send twice. :lol:

I have one but mine seems to stay in it's case and I use a mini iron when I go to a class or retreat. I have a regular sized iron in my sewing room

I have one and haven't used it. I got it to use for doing in the hoop projects. I have a Hobbico Sealing Iron I use for freezer paper applique and ironing pieced projects as I sew. The Hobbico gets very hot.

I have a different brand and use it all the time. I bought it because it has about 10 different heads to put onto it for different purposes. A word of warning: If you are not careful to place it on the stand or in a cup etc it can burn a hole in the vacuum cleaner tube...

The first Clover mini irons had to be heated to max temp several time before they reached max temp. every time. After that they get as hot as a regular iron. Clover never mentioned that on any packaging and lost a lot of sales by people returning the irons because they didn't get hot enough. Also the cords on some were not connected right so the iron twisted, like a water hose, making it impossible for it to stay upright when set down. Electrical cords have a lay in them (like water hoses) and have only one way to be connected, things that twist when the cord is plugged in is a dead give away of just get it together manufacturing. I had my cord reconnected and it made a big difference in ease of use.

I have one plugged in, right next to my machine for those times that I have to press a little seam before moving on to add another piece, love it!!! I do put it in a mason jar so as not to burn anything.

I love it for paper piecing. I tried it on strings blocks and it didn't seem quite heavy enough to press the seam down flat. Had some wrinkles in a few blocks I had to take apart and do over. Maybe it was something wrong on my part though and not the iron.
