I really like mine, should work great for doll cloths.

Never used attachments just sits in a drawer taking up space.

Hi Bullock2us, Yes I have a clover mini iron and to be truthful it has somewhat of a limited use.It is great for apliqueing very small pieces because you have more control than with a bigger iron.Also a tip I got was that you can insert it into say a dbl leaf or heart to press out and sharpen out the the seams -- if you know what I mean!Mostly I use it for bonding small pieces to the background when making gift cards etc.I am glad I have it in other words and if your mom makes doll cothes it will be very useful. You are a thoughtful daughter to think of this gift anyway, Love Letty x

I had one, gave it away, it doesn't get hot enough to stick the butcher paper to the fabric and if you have more than one seam it doesn't work

I've had one for several years, so I would imagine it's not the"top of the line" -- no attachments. It does have an on/off switch on the cord which makes it convenient. I place it in a glass mug (actually a beer Stein) to prevent burns, falling to the floor, etc. The only thing I use it for is to give a press to seams when assembling blocks. It doesn't give as good a press as an iron, but it's good enough and then I press with the iron later. I have no complaints for the one I have.

Letty, I like your tip about getting into pieces to press out and sharpen seams. I'm making tiny garments for preemies and have a time getting good sharp seams. My fingers don't work as well as they used to on tiny things. I will try your hint.

I have one and love it. I wish I had gone for broke when I got mine and purchased the one with the attachments. I use mine all the time for paper piecing, erasing the quilting lines after I have quilted and anywhere you need to iron a small area. I'm sure that she will love it.

I have the clover and the petite press. For me the petite press is a little more awkward and doesn't seem to get as hot as I'd like. The clover get really hot so I have to be careful to keep my fingers off the metal stem and be sure to place it in a jar or on a dish while not in use. I'm not sure if the newer clovers give more protection from the hot metal. I like the clover best!

I use mine for tacking fusible appliqué and in making clothes for 18" dolls. Works wonderfully

I had one and did not like it, I bought the travel Rowenta and really like that for small projects and going to classes.

My cord was attached on the left side of the iron and I'm right-handed so, when I ironed
the cord was always in the way. Plus, the cord kept falling out of the iron...VERY annoying!
