The Crafty Gemini is my fave. It may not glide as easily as some, but it works the best in all other respects. It also has the steam advantage which is often useful.

I have the clover, burned my fingers too. I did use it for applique while I was sitting with my husband while he was getting chemo. I t helps if you have a lot of little projects , if you are on the go.

I use a small travel iron I bought for about $3 from a thrift store, works really good.

I have one that looks like a tiny little iron. It heats well but the only problem with it is where it plugs into the iron. Because I am right handed so everytime I try to press it knocks the plug out of the iron. Frustrating.

I use my Clover mini-iron all the time for Hot Ribbon applique. If you do get one, use a large ceramic coffee mug as a holder rather than the stand it comes it - with prevent burns - ask me how I know this..... :lol:

My DH is very creative and helpful when I need some aid in my quilting. He had made a miniature ironing board that was about a 12" long and 4" wide rectangle. I told him it would be very helpful for me to have one a little larger and in the shape of an ironing board. We were able to come up with a winner and have sold several of them to quilt shops. I use my Conair miniature steam iron and just love it. I had one for about 6 years and used it all the time. It recently burned out and I was able to find two on E-Bay that had never been used. Here is a picture of the one I have. I set it and my ironing board on my sewing machine table and use it constantly to press smaller pieces and 1/4" seams.

I have a Con-Air mini iron. Love it!! Works so well for quilting. Just everything about it is good.
