Good Afternoon Every1,

I hope all is well with you & your families. I have a little dilemma for you. I was thinking of getting a Mini Iron (travel size). Which is better, the mini travel irons or the regular or full size irons :?: :?: I am thinking of having it on my second desk, so that I don't have to get up and waste valuable time. I have 2 retractable corded irons (one is my backup.). I also have the clover mini iron. (used for small seams.). Any help would be appreciated. I eagerly await your comments, help, and suggestions. Thank you soooo much for your help.

:-D :-D :-D :-D Have a blessed day. :-D :-D :-D :-D

I like the full size heavy iron. I never use my mini but for aplique.

I am currently waiting for a vintage travel iron to arrive that I won in an ebay auction for $2.99. I am hoping that it will be a good supplement to my full size iron. According to the seller this iron is approximately 3" wide and 7" long and weighs about 2 lbs. I am hoping because it is an older iron it will get nice and hot and will stay that way (no auto shutoff). Time will tell.

I bought a mini travel iron and don't like it. I've gone back to my regular iron

I have a mini iron and used it once....just did not get hot enought for my needs.

Like others have said, the mini-iron just didn't get hot enough.

The Rowenta Mini has steam and I love it for piecework but use a full size for ironing my fabrics.

I have the Steam Fast SF-717 and it is truly a wonderul small iron---perfect for classes or retreat. My husband bought it on Amazon (it's on sale now for $18.49). One of my friends bought it and I tried it out and love it. I like the fact that it holds well in your hand with a nice grip that you can control the pressure. I would really recommend it.
