Do you have this one or know anything about it? It looks like it may work better than the Clover mini-iron but I haven't tried that one so I don't know.

I had one that actually looked like a miniature iron and loved it. If you're going to applique I can see how one like you're looking at would work better. I only used mine for seams.

Amazon has them a lot cheaper than Nancy's.

I haven't done any applique yet but was thinking more along the lines of when working with really small pieces and strips (like when you are making 9 patches that finish at 1.5 inches).

I have this one from Amazon

I use it everyday and have had no problems.

i bought this one. it works great, but it has no 'heft' to it and it is hard for me to get used to that

Nancy, there were a mix of positive and negative reviews (more towards the positive) on Amazon on this iron but the negative ones mentioned it doesn't get hot enough. Does yours get hot enough to press seams? The Clover mini iron is really just a strip of hot metal so I don't think that one has any "heft" to it as well. The Sunbeam iron that a poster above reference looks small to mid-size but maybe not as small as I'd like.

Thanks.

I have that one and like it for class, but I still prefer my little Rowenta Travel Iron. I've seen them at JoAnns and you can use the coupon on it. Here is a link to the online store and it's on sale: http://www.joann.com/rowenta-da1560-...owenta&start=5

I just bought the rowenta travel iron and I think it's great. I have used it a couple of times for some classes and find it presses seams very well. It can be used with steam or without and is a little bigger than some of your craft irons ( sunbeam).
I also have the clover leaf but find it to be too small if you are taking a class that requires a lot of large pressing. It does get hot but I have a problem with the small stand (very flimsy) that you keep the hot iron on between usage.
