Hope this helps.

My feelings are pretty much the same about the one I have but I do know that they have upgraded it - it now has several detachable tips - and there is a much better stand for it. If you do very intricate work, it is worth buying.

I loved mine for making doll clothes "those little seams just would not fit on board" Then I discovered Paper Piecing and I'm hooked. I keep it and a small mat with pressing pad on its reverse, I can put many pieces tog before getting up to big board
Please be careful, It gets very HOT. Pegeth

I have the clover iron that has interchangeable heads. I went & bought the clover case/stand to hold, while using it. I always forget that I have one, so I don't use it very often. I will try it to press seams open for my quilting classes. I will let you know how it goes. ;););) I did use a Joann's coupon when I bought it (back in NY).

Have a blessed day.

I have 1 but don't use it much and certainly not worth the money

Sorry, I am a bit behind in reading. I have a clover mini-iron -- I keep it next to the sewing machine and use it after every seam. I also kep a small spray bottle. I know, I know, some do not like to steam, but I do tend to use a lot of small pieces and a lot of inset pieces so the spray and press works beautifully.

I went to Goodwill in Burlington, VT on Saturday and they had a Clover Craft Iron there that had never been used. I paid $2.99 for it. It is an older model and has the temperature dial. It also has a spray attachment that slides on the front. The handle comes off and slides onto the base and fits in it's pouch when you are not using it. It is the neatest thing. I just love it!!
