I'm of the camp of buying wrinkle resistant clothing to avoid ironing. In the past, I have purchased some great dress shirts that just sit in the closet with wrinkles as I can't be motivated enough to pull out the ironing board and iron...
So my dilemma now is that I have been sewing. To sew properly, you need to press stuff. I'm doing most of my pressing and sewing at Val's house and she has this ultimate iron/steamer combo. It is a Rowenta with a separate tank for water. It makes ironing so easy....
I spent the past weekend doing a bit of sewing at home and I got out my board and trusty Norelco iron and filled the little reservoir with water and pressed some seams. It worked pretty well but I admit to lusting after a Rowenta iron/steamer.
I even checked Amazon and found this. I got in the mail today one of those 20% coupons from Bed, Bath & Beyond but am not sure if they carry it in the store. They do have it on their web store here. With tax and the coupon, it would be a little cheaper than Amazon.....
I think I paid around $20 for my Norelco iron. Will I get full use out of a $100 iron? That is the dilemma.....
