A lot of ladies on here have "back up" irons, they buy them at the thrift shop. I only have one, mine died last spring when I had to get a quilt done quickly. Fortunately for me Target is only 7 min away and I found one on sale!
Hope you can get another iron and get some work done tomorrow

Yes it is a bummer , when you are so excited an ready to tackle a project and then get stopped dead in your tracks :twisted: I had that happen last week when I coulnd't find an empty bobbin. So i ran to Walmart and bought two packs :wink:

I found a pretty decent iron at WalMart for $7. I take it to classes and sewdays. It stays in the trunk of my car. It's been going strong for over a year, but it's only used a few times a month. A friend of mine buys the cheapest iron at WalMart, uses it until it dies a horrible death then buys another one. She said by the time the iron dies, it's covered in goo and gunk any way from fusible, starch, and glue.
