New Iron

Posted on by in Machines

I wrote a while back about the problems I was having with my Rowenta and how I thought the self clean feature had  fixed it all.  And it did fix it.  And then it broke the next day.  So I’ve been ironing with no stem or spray for months now.  Not good for sewing quilts.

The husband picked up a new Shark this weekend at Costco.  So far the $30 Shark is outpreforming the $100 Rowenta by leaps and bounds.

    A few years ago, I struggled with a faulty iron. When a new iron (that worked) came into my life, I swear I could hear the sun come out and the birds sing! Congratulations!!

    I bought a Euro Pro Steam Iron in 2001 and just love it. Mine is a older model than this one – but I still love mine. I love the “tank” which seems like it holds a gallon of water. I know it doesn’t – but I can iron and iron for days with that “tank” of water. I have never had a problem with it. I sew professionally – tailored mens and ladies jackets, pants, skirts, wedding dresses – everything and this iron has never clogged or “spit” on the fabric. You might want to think about getting a “Steam Station” or a “Steam Generator” for your sewing room. I don’t think you will regret it. I’m beginning to quilt again and I just love your quilts – I’ve got all your patterns – I’m just trying to find the time to make one not. Thanks so much.
