And here's a question for anyone that can offer advice - Irons, cheap or expensive? Does it matter?

I waiting for my Sublime Stitching to get here and I am waiting for it more eagerly now that I am seeing your great stuff! I want to get started! I love your place mat!
Wow, you've been busy. I leave my iron on for hours at a time when I am sewing/stitching so I have no problem with price. The only preference is that it has some weight to it and doesn't feel like a childs toy.
On irons, I say go cheap! I've bought a couple that are all fancy and they keep turning themselves off. I need that bad boy to stay on for hours at a time. I also don't use the steam function, as I prefer to use a spray bottle of water, so the cheapy irons suit me just fine.
Yay Linnea, Sublime Stitching make great stuff!
I have the Sublime book. Those kitties remind me of the Aristocats movie by Disney!
I just love your work. I really would love to learn to do this. Do you have any suggestions on how I can learn? Is there a tutorial somewhere that would help me? Thanks
oh wow you've been busy! well done!
Corrie;)
Thanks all! I've been finding my cheapie iron has been working better without water in it, thanks Jessie.
