I have and really like a Sunbeam Steam Master Professional iron. I do use it with steam some (most) of the time. I've never noticed the holes catching on seams. I really like having the auto-off feature. This iron beeps softly before it turns itself off, which I like. (My previous iron would just start flashing a light when it turned off the heat, and I sometimes found it sitting there still flashing, hours or days later.) It has a clean mode to flush out the calcium and other mineral that build up from tap water. (The manual specifically says to use tap water, not distilled water.) Even with the auto-off feature, I try to always unplug an iron when I am done with it, just to be extra safe.
