I have one. I used it for embroidery machine applique, but once it got put back in the drawer, it stayed there. I just don't do the kind of quilting that would require something that small.

Same here. I think if your iron has sharp edges and a good point it is not needed. I didn't think it got hot enough for pressing the edges of applique around templar with starch.Originally Posted by hopetoquilt
Had one. Did not like it. Did not work very well. Got rid of it.

I made tiny perfect ironing pad by stapling batting and a piece of flannel over a pice of 1X6". I keep it close to the sewing machine so I can use the iron without moving... a good idea for paper piecing!!!!
I also use mine for paper piecing and bias tape. I am going to try your tip for use with the emb machine. Love mine too. My only problem is forgetting to turn it off.Originally Posted by Mamagus
Love mine. Use it for paper piecing all the time and also for applying the adhesive bias tape when doing stained glass applique. I also have an embroidery machine so while my appliqued items are still in the hoop I can use the mini iron to attach the appliqued pieces.I made tiny perfect ironing pad by stapling batting and a piece of flannel over a pice of 1X6".

Have one but haven't used it yet. Once my quilting room is set up properly I hope to have it on hand. My husband used it on his leather car seat repair, however!

I have one and I love it. I covered a tv tray to use as a small ironing board and use it next to my sewing machine with a full size iron and my clover mini. I use the mini for seams
