Thanks, I may have to take a look at that one. I am retired from Target so gotta love that lifetime discount card. I do not remember them having that one when I worked there but it is worth looking at.

Let us know how you like it. I'd be interested in knowing.

Will do.

I use a cheap Proctor Silex from KMart and a spray bottle with water to dampen the fabric. I sometimes use spray starch and I've never had a problem. I've tried 2 Rowentas (one was the Professional) and I hated both. They are too heavy and the spray starch sticks.

Can't help on the iron. I've had a Rowerta on my "wish list" for quite some time -- but after all these postings, I'm not so sure I want it now.

As for the ironing spray, I love Mary Ellen's. You can get it at the LQS. It's pricey but worth it, as far as I'm concerned.

I have a Rowenta that I purchased at Costco about 8 years ago and love it. It gets quite hot quickly and I love the burst of steam. I've never had any problems with it.
I also bought a cheaper iron from Walmart to take to quilting classes but I don't care for it. It doesn't get hot enough to remove the wrinkles from fabric.

After 3 Rowntas and many others, I found
Black and Decker Digital Advantage
to be the best. I quilt alot and it shuts off automatically, but if I pick it up it only takes a few seconds to be ready to go. I bought 3 and one is still in the box. The 2 I.m using have not failed me.

Mine is the D2020

I, too, bought a Rowenta & hate it. All of the women I was sewing with had one & I felt like I must be missing something...I HATE IT!! It is much too heavy to be practical. I have gone back to my T-Fal Ultraglide which costs about $30. It has a self cleaner, non stick sole plate & most important (to me) is that it STEAMS like nothing else I have used. The self cleaner is really a shot of steam that you can use on those stubborn wrinkles.

I have a cheapy that was fine, want to say proctor silex, but it too, would sleep and I got a black and decker...think I paid about 30.00 for it and like it just fine.
I don't use steam on my blocks unless I want to stretch them for sizing. read that you quilt dry and use steam for stabilizers. If I had read that before working on my granddaughters quilt I might not be "fixing" it so much now.
I really like to know about products. good info.
