I use mine for paper-piecing and it I love it. No burned fingers and no trying to fit a big iron on the tiny seams. It has a thermostat and set on high, it was always hot enough for anything I needed. Get a Joanne 50 off coupon and you're set. I may like it but don't think it's worth 30 bucks.

I found a little travel iron at a flea market and paid about $3.00 for it. It has steam and the handle folds down. A friend wanted one too, and I found her one for about the same price at Good Will. I take mine with me when I go to my daughter's home along with my June Taylor Cut&Press, and they have come in handy many times when I've been there for my projects, and also things I need to press for her. Now I'm watching GW for another one as a back up. I'd like to have one to put in my rolling tote with my sewing machine.

My small Conair iron that looks like an iron (I posted a picture of it) is the best one I have ever found. It gets plenty hot and does a terrific job on seams and applique. Even great using the steam. I wouldn't trade it for 5 Clover irons.
I have the same things, hobbykat, and I also think the small iron is a waste of money.

twinkie posted the picture of her iron and the darling little ironing board her hubby made her on page 3. I wish I had a handy husband like she has. That ironing board is just so cute.
twinkie, how much do you charge for one of the little ironing boards?
