First up, irons…
This is my favorite iron. I have had it for over 20 years. (similar one here) I love it because it is small, light and has a super long cord (why, I have no idea) AND it does not shut off. I know that the shut off is a great safety feature but when you are quilting and your iron shuts off all the time, it is annoying and you have to wait until it heats up again. Sheesh.
I picked up this guy at Target for less than $25. I think it may have even been on sale for $20. I have had it now for over 6 months and it works great. The only thing I don't like is that it seems to catch small pieces of fabric in the bottom holes. Otherwise, it works well and I have no complaints. I don't notice much difference between this one and the expensive Rowenta I used to have.
What iron do you have? Do you love it? Do tell. Teresa

I have a Sunbeam steam master that I searched for and purchased after I had used one in a hotel. The best iron for pressing creases in jeans I have ever used. You would have to wrestle me to the ground to take it from me.
Wow Marie, I might have to look that one up with such a high recommendation!
I'm with you on the regular Rowenta irons not being worth the money. I had one that leaked water all of the time, which was so annoying. I found a Rowenta pro steam station at the local thrift store for $30 and it's worked great for me.
Oooh, that's awesome Judy! I'll have to look at the thrift store!
Teresa, I have a few different irons, but my favorite one was a wedding present--37 years ago! It doesn't shut off, either.
Of course it is M. S. the old ones are awesome! Actually, that is why I bought the classic B&D one, I thought it would be as similar to old school as possible!
I had two irons finally bite the dust a couple months ago, so I sent my husband to Walmart and told him to buy the cheapest one they had. I was mad at irons since two went out back to back. He came home with a Black & Decker. I wish it didn't shut off, but hubby really likes the fact that it does!
Black and Decker seems to be a popular brand!
