One of the reasons I just love the women on this board (no offense to the guys) is that there are women like you who would be thrilled with a new iron as a birthday gift. I think that's great.
Hope your day is wonderful and I hope Rowenta solves the problem for you!

I paid a lot of money for this iron. I can not spend that much on an iron now. So, I was just wondering what type everyone uses and what they like most about it. I told my husband that the best place to ask for advice on this would be the quiliting board. And since my birthday is tomorrow (6/13), he said it would be the perfect present for me. Looking forward to your suggestions. Thank you

I just went to Walmart and bought one. I bought a Black & Decker in Florida and it was wonderful...have one here at home also.
I just make sure that they turn themselves off as I do forget when sewing. Mine shuts down after 8 minutes and then with just a slight movement, turns back on....works great when PPing.
hope that helps....

Several years ago I used a friends Rowenta at a retreat. I loved it and bought one when my old cheapy died. That was about 10 yeas ago - that Rowenta was fantastic - made ironing almost pleasant!! But it was dropped several times and finally died. Let my 4-H kids use it. Bought another one - leaked starting at about 6 months on - and just got worse. Just did not work right including the cord issues. One day it just sparked and died. So went to a garage sale and they had 3 old models - bought all 3 for $5.00. They are great back ups for the 4-H kids and retreats. One is very old from the 40's - in great shape and on the internet, valued at about $75.00.
I did buy an Oliso for my studio - so far absolutely love it. Very nice features and well designed.
I do like irons with stainless steal base - not Teflon, it eventually comes off and leaves specks on the clothes. So I have had luck with both inexpensive and costly irons, but so far my favs was my OLD Rowenta and now the Oliso.
