A good iron

Debbie that is exactly the same as my Black and Decker travel iron that I have had for 20 years or more and it still works perfectly. (Mind you I didn't use it for years because it didn't have steam and I never thought of a spritzer bottle until I saw Ricky doing it.) But it is now in my sewing room all the time. Just make sure you use an ironing cloth of some kind if you are using fusible as it doesn't clean off as easily as the bigger irons.

I got the Kandi iron at IQF Houston..... Thumbs up! Terrific little iron. Here is the website.........

Has anyone found an iron that doesn't leak? I am so frustrated - both my Rowenta and my Eliso leak - it's maddening.

I am with Ricky... I USE A SPRAY BOTTLE

I use the CLASSIC BLACK AND DECKER WITH NO LEAKS BECAUSE IT HAS NO STEAM... NO VENTS

I get them from the VERMONT COUNTRY STORE

I also use one from the Vermont Country Store and LUV it!!! Here is the link:

The brand they sell is not the Black and Decker, but is called "Continental". I'm not sure what the difference is in the two brands.

I have the Continental Platinum from Vermont Country Store and it is excellent.

I finally found the best iron I have every owned. It is the Reliable brand and I believe it is made in Canada. It cost around $100 but has been worth every penny. It does not leak or drip and has a feature to control the automatic shut off feature. That feature alone has saved me much frustration and time waiting for the iron to reheat. It's the best.

I bought the red Kandi iron at a quilt show a year ago. I could not figure out how to make it stand up when I wasn't using it; when I stand it up it is tipsy. I'm afraid it will burn my fabric (or worse the house down). Anyone with any ideas? P.S. I haven't been using it because of this problem.

What you could use is a metal grill stand which stands about 2" above the table, ideally with a small lip around the edge so that it cannot slide out. This is what they had at a tailor's shop I worked in for the irons, although theirs were made of cast iron, and is a very good solution IMO.

Thanks, I'll try it.

here's my two cents: I have a T-Fal - have had it for about 8 years -never leaks. Also, I do not iron plush towels.
