I have the Steam Fast. Clover has a new wedge iron that is getting raves reviews. http://www.nancysnotions.com/product...+wedge+iron.do

I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Press-Conair-H...l+clothes+iron

It also has burst of steam, which is good to use on clothes on hangers, etc. I used it when traveling.

I have a small 2 inch Dritz mini iron. It works ok, but doesn't seem to get hot enough. It worked ok when doing my Log Cabin because I didn't have to get up until I was finished with the block. Then I would get up and press it with my big iron. I would not buy another one. Good Luck.Syl

I have a Sunbeam mini iron to use when paper piecing, which I like very much.

I just checked this on Amazon and it is $20 and Prime eligible for free shipping. Great reviews. Now am I ever tempted.

I have the SteamFast too and it's a GREAT little iron. I bought it for quilting but had to buy a 2nd for my DH - he kept swiping mine because it is so much better than the little travel iron he had been using.

I'm glad this came up, I have some new quilting friends and was looking for quilting-related gifts, at $20 this is perfect! Might as well buy myself a 3rd one too, for back-up!

You name, I've got it. My Favorite is a hobby iron I saw Eleanor Burns using on one of her TV shows.

I don't recommend the Clover. I have one, doesn't get hot at first. I have to turn it off, then on again. Then it might get hot enough...

Will have to look into the iron that folks noted above. Thanks for starting this thread!
