smd719 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi everyone! What do you use as a travel iron? I need suggestions please. Thanks. I use and LOVE the little Rowenta travel iron for sewing. I just broke another one. I just called Rowenta and they told me it's a travel iron, not for sewing. Huh? It's not for every day use. What if I travel every day? Huh? They tried to explain the difference to me. It's for ironing wrinkles not seams. But don't shirts/blouses/trousers have seams? Huh? HELP ME. I told the lady that that wasn't a very good response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Wow. An iron that isn't for taking wrinkles out of fabric? Not a very good recommendation for it and I imagine the Rowenta person had that excuse handy ("it's not for sewing") as an easy way out so they didn't have to stand behind their product. Great product idea--a small steam generator/gravity feed iron made specifically for quilters. Compact, refillable without having to cool down, packed in a carry case, and not too expensive. I'll get Dennis right on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I have to say, I found a little Proctor-Silex travel iron at a garage sale about 10 years ago when I was living in Alaska for $2.00 and it really gets hot and does a great job...it goes to all of my quilting retreats with me and is handy to keep next to my machine when I do have the luxury of sitting and and sewing on my DM. I also tried out several Rowenta's when I first started LA-ing and had problems with everyone and finally went with a mid range full size iron...sometimes those are the best...

smd719 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 VICKI~~Can you show a picture? Does it have a model number? LINDA~~Yes...that would be a great product...but it would have to be small AND affordable! My big Rowenta steam generator was quite pricey!
