Handheld crafting iron
#1
Does anyone use a crafting iron? I'm thinking about getting one since it's so much smaller than a regular iron. I have a bad habit of bumping my hand against it. This is the one I'm looking at but would like to know what others are using.

I found this one at Amazon.com and people who wrote reviews said positive things about it.

I have a different type of small iron, I bought it in a hobby shop and the plate is teflon so if i'm using webbing or fusible, and it gets it on my iron, it just wipes off. But I know several people who have this one, they love it for applique, and all say good things about it.

I like the one from Joann's that looks more like a little iron with a tip.

It will depend on the size pieces of fabric or other material you intend to iron. It is a very small surface. There are mini irons shaped like regular size irons that would be more productive imho. This little one is fine for pressing ribbon or other narrow fabrics and trims. I have one myself. The minis are sold at Joanns. Clotilde.com Has these two; #261014 and #266040 The soleplateon the first one measures1 3/4 inches wide by 4 3/4 long.
