I miss my old one because it was heavy, I think next time I'll look at goodwill.Connie Kresin Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02522467890442085228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37154898.post-44173611320403969542012-04-11T16:27:26.052-05:002012-04-11T16:27:26.052-05:00Wow...snow on your car this morning!

I like the idea above of just buying a cheapie iron from wherever and using it dry, with starch or spray water. Good luck! :)Denise :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07306906507013593208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37154898.post-62153961009779112092012-04-11T15:50:27.555-05:002012-04-11T15:50:27.555-05:00I think we all have the same iron woes. After ever...I think we all have the same iron woes. After everything that I have read online regarding different irons, I think I will stick with my Rowenta. Even if they do eventually seem to sputter - they still seem to be better than most. I've had mine a lot of years - I think it's been worth the money!Me and My Stitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16470153447120413738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37154898.post-39066955784279538712012-04-11T14:17:48.881-05:002012-04-11T14:17:48.881-05:00I had a Black and Decker Iron for a couple of deca...I had a Black and Decker Iron for a couple of decades--I never used the steam, but I loved that it got hot. When the surface became irreparably damaged I bought a new Black and Decker a few months ago--still don't use the steam (just a spray bottle nearby), but this one does not get as hot. On its highest setting I can touch it to damp fabric and not hear the hiss to which I am so accustomed. Honestly, I read so many posts of people disappointed in their irons, I wonder if it is possible to buy a new one and be happy with it? Encouraging, huh?Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37154898.post-34336567392687859832012-04-11T12:43:21.677-05:002012-04-11T12:43:21.677-05:00About every 6 months I go to Walmart and buy the c...About every 6 months I go to Walmart and buy the cheapest teflon coated iron they have. And I really really try to get the ones without the auto-shutoff. I have found that quilting is much more rigorous than irons are designed for, so I just budget it. (And I NEVER use steam - just a hot dry iron - but they still seem to putter out)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649186894244703990noreply@blogger.com
