    I've bought expensive irons and cheap ones. The problem with ALL of them is if they have steam..they eventually leak. I finally got so frustrated that I searched for a Dry Iron. Its been wonderful and easy to clean without having to worry about the steam holes. If I need steam I keep a spray bottle close. I found mine online for $25.

    I keep a little craft iron, maybe 4" long, on my sewing table, expecially when I am paper piecing. I think I got it at Michaels and it is perfect for pressing blocks in progress. I have a positively ancient Sunbeam that I love and use for everything else. Someone on here a few days ago said that her Rowenta caught on fire and burned her. I've not heard too many good things about them. I'd rather spend my money on fabric!

    I have a Rowenta, a Sunbeam Steam Master, and a smaller Black and Decker steam iron. I like the Sunbeam Steam Master the best, right amount of steam and size and holder. The smaller Black and Decker I have in the motorhome and use when on the road. Now, I got a wild hair last year and decided I just had to have this Rowenta. So now I have it and I still use my Sunbeam, I think the Rowenta has too much steam. But I got what I wanted! LOL
