I am so sorry that you burned yourself. I have been told my Clover users that too. I am a klutz which is another reason why I have not bought a Clover.

I love my Clover for paper piecing but will confess to burning myself--not badly and the cord gets in the way. I also have a little Rowenta travel iron that sits on a table to my left so I can press block seams as I go. I love it but it is slowly dying. It won't stay hot any more.

I've pondered the little Mini Press irons but just don't trust the battery or temperature in a cordless device so I'll keep cussing out the cords.

I like your style. You might try Radio Shack or Battery Plus or some electronic stores like that in your area to see if you can get a new rechargable battery for your Rowenta if you really love your Rowenta.

My Rowenta is not cordless. It's old & abused--LOL!

I've burnt out 2 electric brooms is why I don't trust cordless devices any more. They didn't work all that great to begin with and the real vacuum works so much better that fighting the cords is worth the aggravation compared to running out of power when you're only half finished or not working well enough and wishing you'd have just used the good old one to begin with.

When those electric brooms came out I was not too impressed with them too. It looked like you have to go super slow in order for the vacuum part to pick stuff. Kind of beats the purpose of sweeping. You may as well use the vacuum. Besides, the hand held Black and Decker ones never have worked right for me. I had owned three.
