smaller iron for retreats and classes
I'm looking for a smaller iron to take along on retreats and to classes. I have one of the Clover mini irons, but that's much smaller than what I need. Any recommendations on what to buy (or what not to buy)?

I've heard good things about the Rowenta travel iron
It's the one Sharon schamber uses and recommends. |

I got a Great little Black and Decker steam iron purchased at Target or Walmart for only $12-15.00. |
I have the little Sunbeam too. It has teflon on the bottom and stays hot for as long as you have it turned on. I got it on Amazon. My tiny issue with it - the cord coming out of the iron is not in the best place. If you're not careful standing it up after using it, it can flop over. Just because that big cord attachment is so close to the edge and the iron is small. I just used my iron for a 5 day retreat and it worked great.

Been looking for a smaller iron too. Will check out Walmart.

This is on the Walmart site:
Conair EZ Press Compact Steam Iron I have one that looks like this that is a Shark. Might be made by same company and they put whoever's name on it, and a later model. I bought mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond with a 20% off a few years ago. It is still going strong. Works just like a big iron. From the description it is the same type iron, looks like the same one, just 1" bigger and a different color. Has great reviews. Love the one I have. I googled the one I have and it looks like they don't make that model anymore, but there was one on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Euro-Pro-Sha...item486b377bde |
I have a "SteamFast" iron, I bought it on Amazon: http://smile.amazon.com/SteamFast-SF...ds=travel+iron
I love this little iron!! Heats up fast, works great. Doesn't drip or sputter. |
the only class I've been to the last 10 years had 5 quilters per table, and plugs for 5 machines :)
We couldn't plug in anything else. |
