I have one and love it I got rid of the little stand and use a large coffee mug to stand it in while using! I've never gotten burned by it but it does very hot. The one I bought has interchangeable tips for different uses. Good Luck!

I used a 50% coupon for the iron (Michael's) and 60% off (Hancock's clearance bin)for the additional accessories. So far, I've only used it (the larger accessory) to press the seams in my 3" blade dresden plates; made great points too;still had to use the regular iron to finish the plates.
I love it;you have to be very careful though, got burned once.

I have one and have used it a bit. The one that I would like to buy has a larger iron part on it. You can buy them at Joanne's. It is the same idea but it gives you more coverage and it has a thicker handle then the skinny one.

Hope this helps.

I got one a while back and the thing had a wooden board to set it on, and other heads to go with it,which was okay. The bad thing is it got so hot it burned out the heating coil after about 10 uses. It is nice if you can get it from burning you or from burning out. They do get very hot. In fact mine melted some of the plastic from around the head so I think I would get a small craft iron if I was to get another one, but I won't. It was money not spent well in my book. But that is me.

I have one and I use it all the time. It comes in handy when you are sitting at the machine. I made me a small pressing board and they both set right beside my machine. It comes in real handy when you are appliquing and have small items to add. My iron is shaped like a mimi iron. The point on it is good for pressing open seams.
