Let's talk about irons . . . .
I wish I had a couple of my old, old irons that dropped so many times & yet,
they still worked. I replaced them when the knobs broke off. I think I have to put Rowenta in the same category as many of us put JoAnns - TIWLTH! Have never owned a Rowenta that didn't spit! Yes, I do put water in my irons. Recently, my current Rowenta spit on a block for my guild's opportunity quilt that I am working on & the spit landed on the red fabric, that RAN!!! Not sure how we are going to embellish that or add more applique I keep buying them, but I recently picked up a T-Fal or Shark, whichever Costco is carrying. I just bought it to take to my mini-group meetings, so haven't really given it a good test yet. Seems to me that years back, people were picking up old irons at thrift shops & very happy with them. Pauline Northern California "Donna in Idaho" wrote in message ... Yeah, but Polly - how's she going to use the iron if it's locked up in a safety deposit box?

Polly "Mary" wrote in message ... I'm almost embarassed to admit it, but my best iron is a GE steam iron my mother gave me to take to college with me. That was in the fall of 1966, and it still works beautifully. For very small quick jobs I have a small, lightweight Black and Decker, and it works fine for those. After all the horror stories about the new and very expensive irons, I just count my lucky stars and am careful not to drop my good old GE! |
