SO much better than the one I have..it has a little metal triangle to iron with, and the metal stem has burned me several times...I think that part gets hotter than the ironing section!! Will have to watch for the sale on this one

I LOVE that iron! I bought one a couple of years ago, and it worked so well I went back and purchased two more - one as a back-up, and the other to give to a friend. It is fabulous for applique (I use the template plastic and starch method) and for exactly what you're doing - using it next to the machine to press small seams as I sew.

Update on my mini iron---
well, the only real problem I see with the iron is that it could get just a tad hotter for me. It did its job ok, but I felt like I had to hold it on the fabric longer to really get it to stay flat like I wanted. Nothing like the regular iron and steam. lol
Sewing went faster because I didn't have to get up, I had it sitting right in front of me. It's worth it to have one.
1-10, I give it an 8 or 9.
