I have the Clover's mini iron and like it for putting bias tape down. I also have the Hobbico little craft iron and use it when I'm quilting as it has a little wider base. I have used the travel iron on seam when I sew. I feel each iron has it's own place. If you have something really small, the clover mini iron is it. Something else I use all the time is a "Cool finger", sure saves a person finger. It's like a knit glove for one finger, but it doesn't transfer hear.
