Has anybody used, tried, have an opinion on the Clover Mini Irons? I wanted to purchase one for appliqueing, but have read some really negative remarks on Joann's "review this product" section. 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

Would appreciate your feedback, also the type that you received. Happy birthday, or am I belating it? Is that even a word? LOL Bea

If you mean the ones that have a small iron shape on a long (8")stem. I have had one for several years and use it almost everyday. I do mostly hand piecing sitting in my recliner and have the iron on the table next to it. Have a reversable lap thingy that you can cut on one side and iron on the other. I like my iron. But be careful because they really do get hot.

I have one and have never really liked it. I have a small black & decker travel iron which folds done into a small carrying case, I like it much better. Sunbeam has a small travel iron too that my daughter purchased and it is real nice. You can do both steam and dry ironing with both. I would waste my money on the other.

My favorite mini iron is Hobbico. I also have the blue tile iron holder. I've used Clover mini irons, but I don't care for them.

I have one. I really like it. It's great for applique and when you need to press really tiny pieces like for the Dear Jane quilt. It does get VERY hot so you need to be careful.

I'm pretty cheap!! I had the clover in my basket at JoAnn's and when I was passing the iron isle, I saw the cutest little iron that was pink for 9.99 & I had a 50% off coupon!!! Brought home the little pink one. Too cute for words!!! Brings me a smile just thinking about it.
