I use my Conair miniature steam iron and just love it. I had one for about 6 years and used it all the time. It recently burned out and I was able to find two on E-Bay that had never been used. Here is a picture of the one I have. I set it and my ironing board on my sewing machine table and use it constantly to press smaller pieces and 1/4" seams.
