Hills Creek Quilter: So Far, So Good

So Far, So Good

Some of my readers might remember the saga with my iron that I blogged about here. Well, I've now had the replacement one for more than a year and so far it has not given me any problems (I hope I haven't just jinxed it). I love it as much as I did when I first got the first one. And surprisingly, I don't hate the auto-off feature as much as I thought I would. If it does turn off, it heats up very quickly and I don't have to waste time waiting for it.

I'm hoping this one will last me for quite a while now....

Karen - Quilts...etc. said...: good luck with the iron - I just sent for a small iron - to keep in my motorhome. I bring along just enough clothes that sometimes need to be pressed and just enough piecing that needs to be pressed that I wanted one to keep out there but nothing big. This will be the second one - I hope this one will work longer than the last one did!!

Needled Mom said...: I bought one on your recommendation right after you got yours. Mine just went out on Saturday - lights flashing and no heat. It was a great iron while it lasted. I do hope that you have not jinxed yours!!!!; August 17, 2011 at 9:47 AM
Vivian said...: I'm saving info about your iron, in case something happens to mine. I prefer working with recommendations, rather than a random purchase from a store. Is the iron very heavy? I like a little weight in mine--less work for me to do.
Fingers crossed that your iron will last and last and last!; August 17, 2011 at 10:57 AM
