Has anyone tried this yet? What did you think? I wouldn't spend $40, but I would buy it with a 50% coupon if the feedback is good. It looks like it would be handy for paper piecing.

I have never paper pieced before so I don't know. I would also like to see how the handle fits my hand as it looks kind of big, but pictures are deceiving. I do like the idea that it has a built in stand and turns off automatically.
I have the clover and the stand is horrible. My husband made a stand for it. It also gets very hot! I've burned myself on it once already.
Be interesting to hear the comments.

I have this iron. It does have different temperature settings and the angle of the iron and the handle is adjustable which I liked. I used it for paper piecing too. The only problem I had with it was that it turns itself off rather quickly.

I haven't tried this one but I did try a little Clover craft iron. It didn't get hot enough - just warm so I returned it. I saw this one at Joanns to and thought about it. I will watch to see what the feedback on it shows....

I have this iron and I love it. I have used it everyday for the past 2 months --- no problems with it so far. It is lightweight and the pressing head adjusts to different angles --- it reduces the stress on my hands and wrists.
