I use spray startch with mine. I spray it in a small container, then apply it with a small brush to the fabric and then iron away! It works great and isn't messy. It does take a few minutes to heat up, but it stays hot until I turn it off.

I bought the Mini Clover several years ago because I like to do applique. Still in the wrapper! Never got around to using it but I think I will try it very soon. Glad to know that a coffee mug is the ideal stand for it. I think that is why I haven't used it. No stand. LOL Appreciate the input from everyone who knows how they are to use.

Yesterday I used my new little iron. The cord stayed in and I left it on most of the day as I was sewing on DJane blocks most of the day. It stayed on and no problem.It fit my budget much better than 30.95 plus tax for a new clovser. Now we will see how long it holds up as compared to the clover. Jolo

Lightweight of course, but heavy enough to stay put on the table whilst sewing.
I'm thinking to make one of my minis with it, just for fun.
I've bought several repro toy sizes and minis over the years, some old and some newer, so this one will go on a shelf with them. It's a collection, dontchaknow.

They seem expensive, and I do not want to spend that kind of money if they really are a "flop". Thanks for your input, as always I am sure it will be worth its weight in knowledge. Bea
