Glad to hear nothing happened. I have the left the iron on overnight without realizing it.

My biggest worry is my cat knocking it over. She likes to see on my little ironing board, even next to the iron when it's on. I've even seen her sniff it.

My time

I do this also . I had to because I was forever leaving the iron on. It makes for a simple solution.

Gramma B. Are you all alone after having surgery? I hope not. The iron is the least of your needs if you have just had surgery. Be careful. Hugs to you. Barny

I always place the cord on top of my ironing board when I leave the room - bless your quilting angel for watching over you all.

my iron shuts off by after it sits still for awhile. I am glad you both are Ok and no fires.

Wow! You definitely have someone watching over you!

glad all is well. i plugged my iron into a surge protector and plugged in my light also. i turn them both on using the switch on the surge proctector and turn it off the same way. that way i know if the iron is on because the light is on.

I have my iron on a power strip also, it gets turned off when I'm done sewing. It also has to get unplugged from the wall as I have 4 dogs that like to lay in my sewing room; more than once I've come in to sew in the morning and the iron is on the floor. One of the 4 has laid on the cord and pulled it down.

man, I have done that...with my cordless iron..it cuts itself off, BUT I have found that it also can turn back on..I make a point now to take it off of the cradle all together, and I turn off the outlet strip! WAs thinking about getting one of those light switches and outlets like in my living room..the outlet will not work unless the light is turned on! Wonder how hard that would be to have put in the sewing room...only need two outlets to be like that!
