I was told by a Bernina technician that the old Bernina irons were made by T-Fal.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687940102998242654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818198785939526488.post-21381589207412877312012-02-19T14:22:07.696-08:002012-02-19T14:22:07.696-08:00Have you tried an Oliso?

It has little supports that pop the iron up so you need not set it upright. It has lots of steam and is very hot. I am not sure if it is steamy and hot enough for you, but it is worth a look at.Purple Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614300010193583324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818198785939526488.post-40662264544537926592012-02-18T13:27:20.904-08:002012-02-18T13:27:20.904-08:00I feel your pain!

My most reliable iron is a Black and Decker (from Longs) that was cheap but it's heavy and has good steam and it doesn't shut off by itself (which I find annoying when I'm sewing over an afternoon.) Good luck!Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818198785939526488.post-21539059136276000622012-02-18T13:26:24.617-08:002012-02-18T13:26:24.617-08:00I had the same luck with the Rowneta.

I cer...I think all quilters have an iron fixation. I certainly do! Two years ago I purchased the same Reliable iron you have and then bought (for $50 more) the other Reliable iron that you can make stay on. I used them each for about a month and put them up on the shelf. (anybody want 'em?) They are heavy, not steam reliable, don't get hot enough and are VERY heavy. Then I found the Proctor Silex Durable Iron (with Teflon plate) for $6 at WalMart. Since I think cheap irons may be the way to go, I bought one. 24 hours later I went back to WalMart and bought them all (14 of 'em). I've given some away and used up one (in 2 years) and now they're up to $10. I buy 1 or 2 whenever I see them. The one I'm using now I've used daily for 8 months - steams like thunder, gets hot, not heavy, and DOESN'T turn itself off. I can't recommend it enough! It's great! And cheap! And WORKS!Linda in TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852273872542742280noreply@blogger.com
