Which iron to buy?
Im looking at buying a small iron just for quilting. I was originally going to get a Clover one but lots of reviews have said that they are easy to burn yourself in and that a travel iron is as effective. What sort of iron do you use?

I'm going to sound like a nut job but...I have three irons and each one has a specific use. One is a Panasonic cordless that I use with and without steam for small seams when I need less weight. One is a Shark that I use exclusively with steam and the last is a Rowenta that has never seen a drop of water. I love all three and If I had to buy another small iron I'd jump at another Panasonic Cordless.

I use the mini Clover for appliqué and mini quilts...and yes, it can get hot but there are temp settings. I have a Rowenta for home quilting use....and then for travel, I use the Clover Wedge...works like a pro...no issues.

I despise the Clover mini iron; I'm so glad I borrowed one before buying. Much too easy to burn yourself, or accidentally knock off the table.
I have an iron like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Duronic-Com...ords=mini+iron. It works really well.
