I don't have that one so I can't give a review. I do have a little one with about a 1" ironing area, great for corners and pressing seams open. But honestly, I don't use it as much as I thought I would.

I have one of the little ones on a wand..is that what you are talking about? I don't use it at all as I like to use a steam iron. BUT I think it would be good for tiny little areas if I'd just get it out & use it!

Hi I have the little wand one and a mini steam one that looks like the big irons. The wand one is great for pressing seams open and gluing on crystals and the mini one was great for when I was doing a project and pressing inbetween to open seams and press out the wrinkles with the steam. I like it becuse you don't have to lug out the big iron and board. Hope it helps. Suzanne

Hi, I have one of the little ones like that, I bought it at Hancock fabrics. It doesn't generate enough heat to really do anything. I let my granddaughter play with it, so that shows how much I use it.

Well, if it doesn't get hot, I'm not sure what's its use would be?
by mad14kt 08 Mar 2010
I sure could use something workable like this for when I am pressing seams open. Oh well FIESTA ANYHOW ;D *2U

This must be a new product. I'd be interested in hearing someone who has one, too. I have the tiny clover iron that I use while quilting to iron the seams to one side and to make binding sometimes.

JR I am thinking maybe they will have one available to test in the store. It's cute but if it's not going to work for me then there is NO need in adding another cute gadget that winds up in my UFO collection...LOL ;D *2U

I have one that my friend bought me for a present she purchased at WalMart it looks like the toy iron for kids, I am ashamed to say but I haven't used it yet I forget I have it. My friend says she loves hers though. I think that it is used for putting on Crystals also. Sara

I have the one that 'sewmom' put the link up on. I RARELY use it, typically only for pressing seams open that are in tight places and for adhereing small patches on things. It does get pretty hot. It was kind of an expensive item ($20.00) for the number of times I've used it over the past 5 or so years. I guess it just depends on what specific purpose you feel you need it for. Good Luck. ~Rita

I have had one for years. Great when working on doll clothes I make for the ceremic dolls I also make. Also have used it to iron seams open on quilt blocks I am working on. Mine gets hot enough my husband had to make a stand for me to put it. I also have a small steam iron. It works but I like the wand one better.

I have one that I purchased at Michaels and I love it. Great for getting into tight spaces. Also for quilting - to open up the seams. It gets really hot though, you have to be careful. Frannie

I have the mini and I use it a lot. I liked it well enough that I bought the newer one where you can change the tips and the little iron is bigger. Depends on what you're going to do with it, but I love mine. I don't use the mini anymore being I got the bigger one.

I do not have this one, however, the one I do have works well for seams and crafts. H&*

Total waste of my money. And I had to get the one with the different heads! Save your's and just use the big one.

I have one of these, and I don't care for it. It takes forever to heat-up. I won't buy another one!
Good luck should you purchase one!...Barb

I have one. It is great for quilting seams. I don't have to get up to use the big iron. Also, my girls love it for their Barbie clothes.
