I had startched some fabric and I decided to get it ironed. I got half way thru the pile and all of a sudden I hear this buzz and sparks shoot out of the cord near the iron. It barely missed me arm. I've had this one for about 15yrs. I guess it was time. Well darn it, when it rains it pours. I'm so tired of these kind of things happening. Well some thing else to save for. Sorry I just had to vent. Thanks for reading.

That happened to me about a month ago. It made me so mad because I was pressing all my squares getting ready to put my quilt top together and I had to postpone it. I borrowed my mother-in-law's iron until I broke down and got a new one.

I had the same thing happen to me a year or so ago...only it did that WHILE I was ironing and it burned up the fabric!!!!!!!!! SCARY! I bought a cheap $35.00 iron that has worked real well. Then the other day, someone on this board said they use their travel iron!!! WOW! I have one! So I have the ironing board set up with big iron for big things, and my travel iron and travel board set up next to my machine for the small stuff. Sure saves me steps!
