I have one and I like mine. It's great for getting into small areas.

I have the Clover's mini iron and like it for putting bias tape down. I also have the Hobbico little craft iron and use it when I'm quilting as it has a little wider base. I have used the travel iron on seam when I sew. I feel each iron has it's own place. If you have something really small, the clover mini iron is it. Something else I use all the time is a "Cool finger", sure saves a person finger. It's like a knit glove for one finger, but it doesn't transfer hear.

I love my iron! Have had it for years and am using it for an applique project right now. I use freezer paper and turn under the seam allowance. Works like a charm! I will be trying a coffee cup as holder this afternoon. Funny how there is always something new to learn!

I have had one for several years (received as a gift) and use it all the time for paper-piecing. Seems that the small head works best for this. Never had any problems with it.

But I have another (very old) small iron I use for small projects.

If I decided to buy another one, I'd buy the one that has the interchangable heads so it can have more uses.

Would I buy another one? Yes. I am happy with this product.

I have a little pink travel iron. When the heating element burned out I tried to find a new one to no avail. My husband, tired of my whining, took it apart and found a part that worked and fixed it. That has been about ten years ago and it is still going strong. I have a little dolly ironing board that I like to use to sit in my easy chair and iron quilt blocks/pieces/borders,binding, etc. I also discovered when we moved that I have a kids dolly iron. I have not tried it but it looks like it would be fine for fusible applique as it has no holes in the soleplate.

I'm curious about your dolly iron board. Is it a "toy"? I'm making doll clothes and need a small ironing board to work on.
Thanks!

I have the model you are talking about and I like it. I waited for a coupon of course. I don't have any other model to compare it with but it works great for applique and small corners etc.

I bought one several years ago and don't like it at all. I never thought it got hot enough. Money better spent on more fabric!

I love, love my Clover Iron. Just a word of caution though. I had it on the stand that it comes with, and somehow I must have knocked it off the stand, because the next time I looked, it has fallen and melted the stand and got plastic all over the iron and my ironing mat. Thank goodness, I got the plastic off the iron, but now I will buy a better quality stand. The iron is wonderful for seams as you quilt....I have mine right beside my sewing machine. It gets really hot too.

I had a "wand" type mini iron with an iron rest but it flopped around, just would not rest in its holder. I put it on the free table at guild. I like my $6.99 regular iron I bought at Walgren's and the June Taylor iron/cutting board I got for my birthday one year.
