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.

Yeah, but Polly - how's she going to use the iron if it's locked up in
a safety deposit box?

Now that's a treasure. If I were you, I'd keep it in a safe deposit box.
Please do not drop your iron. Polly

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!
