Buying new irons can be a problem. I go around picking them up and setting them down in the store. I don't like the idea of ordering online because I want to know how it feels in my hand and how heavy it is. Too light and it won't get the wrinkles out fast enough. Too heavy, well, haven't found that yet. I have 3 different irons in my sewing room - each one gets used from time to time. One thing I do - I have a used dryer sheet pinned to the ironing board and if my iron begins to stick any time I spray the used dryer sheet and run my hot iron over it and it cleans off any residue. (Many years ago I saved a bunch of the used sheets, because I quit using them in my dryer. But if I run out I am sure I can ask my daughter if she can save a couple for me. One sheet lasts weeks.)
