Fire is scary!! when I was a kid, (many moons ago) we have an iron that actually melted. No one got hurt and we just threw it away, as this is what you did years ago. Hope you get a satifactory answer.

This is so scary!! Hope you are feeling better soon and heal quickly - burns can be so finicky! Rowentas have become a popular name and many of us have bought them - I have a regular one and the travel one - Thanks for the info and warning! Please keep us up to date with what you find out and any further info. Do take care!

I can't think of anything I have in the sewing room to smother flames. Like Peckish said we need fire extinguishers in our homes. I will put that on my shopping list.

Although I'm behind in my QB's may I add my hurry up and get better wishes along with everyine else. Hope you'll post your results with Rowenta.

Gosh! So sorry this happened to you. I've had the Rowenta travel iron for three years without one problem. I think with the quality of manufacturing today, we can expect problems with any product, no matter the good reputation of the company! It's disgraceful they put out so many inferior products.

I'm glad nothing else was burned, and I'm glad you didn't get severly hurt. Maybe you can put the label over the hole or applique something over it so it won't look bad.

Seems to me the Rowenta irons have a lot of problems. Glad I don't own one. Hope your hand heals Ok and you get results about the iron. I go along with some of the others, maybe good place for label. Good luck.

Goodness! This sort of makes you question "A bad day quilting beats a good day working." I hope your hand gets better soon. Please post pics of the backing. I'd be glad to share if I have it! If not, maybe you can find something that coordinates with it, or put a quilt label over the hole.

Maybe you can put the label over the hole amy not be the traditional placing but...

We had a glass ornament turn window light into a prism type light focused on my husbands brand new (expensive!) work boots and it burned a hole in them!
