Mini Iron for Classes/Retreats
 

Friends,

What brand of mini iron do you have that you love to take to retreat/classes?

Thanks!

I don’t know what brand for sure mine is but it looks like this and with a wool mat, works awesome!

I have the same iron as PamelaOry and love it. I bought it while attending a Sewing Expo in Novi, MI (SE MI) several years ago.

I bought the SteamFast mini travel iron and love it!

I have the SteamFast mini also and love it! Walmart had it for around $12. Thinking of getting another one to leave at the cabin. One less thing to carry back and forth!

I have one very similar to that one (the Steamfast posted). Mine's the same one Angela Walters uses in her videos, which is where I saw it first. I like mine, too. I use it at home close to my sewing machine on a mini ironing board or on my little foam pressing board. Sweet.

I bought a little one from Target. My grandsons love it and want to iron something with my little iron. I also made the ironing caddy, a free pattern. It folds up like a purse with handles. It was so easy to make I made 3for the other quilting girls.

I have the conair compact travel iron and it works beautifully. Never put water in it and have had for about 8 years. I made a larger humbug bag with insulbrite lining so I can pack up even if it is still hot after a class, the cord hangs out the top where the zipper closes.

Here is the link for the Steamfast at Walmart...it's a great iron for $12.88

I have the Steam Fast and the Clover Wedge. I like them both. The Steam Fast at Walmart is not exactly like the Steam Fast sold at shops as it is less quality housing.

Me too but my Walmart sold it for 10...700 series and 700 Watts...

I have a Conair as shown above and a Clover Wedge. Love both.

Have had the Steam Fast and seemingly am the only person in the world who doesn't like it, lol. Great reviews on line. I found it difficult to hold but the real issue for me was that the cord kept getting in my way.

Rowenta travel was another no go for me. The folding handle broke, and no way to get it to stay in place after that, no matter what I tried. Several others I know had the same problem. Evidently travel irons are meant for light pressing, not convincing blocks that they *will* behave!

I have a steam fast from Walmart and I love it! I purchased a second one, if I have a fabric stash why not an iron stash? I have a board that fits over the arms of the recliner and I put a wool pressing mat on top of that. That way I can have my legs up while I press smaller things. Don't know how I did without it.

I have a little Steamfast as PamelaOry posted. I made a cute little carrier/ironing mat for it so it transports easily to classes.

I have a steamfast iron and love it. The one you get at the quilt shop is much better than the one at Walmart, plus it is a dual voltage if you travel overseas. It's great for pressing small quilt pieces. Regarding the long cord, I have a spring thing on the end of my ironing board and it holds the cord up so I don't have any problems.

I have the Steam-Fast iron and love it. It gets really hot and is easy to use. I got it from a Missouri Star Deal of the Day, so it was less. Last Saturday, I used mine for my demo at the quilt show. The cord is hard wired. Another gal had a demo, too, and her cord kept falling out of her iron during the demo.

I have 3 (yes 3) of these little but mighty irons. I own 2 of the Rowenta travel irons and used and loved them till these little sweeties came in the market. They are reasonable to,purchase, fits my hand perfectly and heats up very quickly. I actually used steam the first time I used one as the quilt teacher required it. Boy was I impressed!
