This is a pretty handy set. I've used it on several quilting projects and a few appliques over the past few months, and it's done everything I need in a craft iron.
Pros: The cord is a nice, long length that allows me to really maneuver around my projects without getting tied up in the cord or needing to be right next to my outlet. It comes with several tips for the iron so if I need a particular shape to get in around appliques or buttons or such, I can usually find the right tip for the job. I also like that it came with an adapter to change out the tips. I've never had a problem with scorching, so the temperature setting seems good.
Cons: I wish there were a tip that was just a little larger in this set. I understand this is a "mini" crafting iron, but most of the tips are designed specifically to get around buttons or in hard-to-reach areas, and a more "standard", flat tip might be nice.

I am very pleased with this product. I have alot of Barbie dolls small clothes and found it very easy to iron these small items. I also like all the different tips that comes with it. The only thing I did not like was the red plastic protector at the top of the handle. When ironing, the tip must be flat and I found that this protector was interferring with the garment, so I removed this protector and found it much easier to handle and ironing is much easier. Obviously, you don't want to touch the tip when hot. As far as the performance of this tool, I found it GREAT !Best Deals for Clover Mini Iron II-The Adapter Set
An excellent product at a reasonable price. I am not a QUILTER, sorry to say, but I use this Mini Iron to lightly press my newly-knit woolen swatches when I am checking the gauge. And for all my woolen swatches and knitted postcards I make certain that I place a small piece of clean sheeting atop the wool before applying the heat.I also use the Mini Iron for applying hot glue to certain items and for flattening out wheat straw stems for items that I am making. For most of these, with the exception of the hot glue, I generally use the lowest heat setting: It has three settings, low, mid and high. It's fortunate that this adapter set has a variety of tips and styles that make this a real multitasking unit. It has FIVE tips. Actually, I find this product so handy and valuable for myself that I have recently ordered another one from Amazon as a gift for a friend.
Honest reviews on Clover Mini Iron II-The Adapter Set
This was the best deal I found while looking for this little iron to press doll clothes. The little stand does not work very well, but I can live with that. It's the perfect thing for getting into little places. On my first use, I used the wrong temperature setting and melted my fabric. Dumb. Read the package to learn the correct setting for your fabric. Always test on a scrap of fabric if you are unsure. It takes a while to heat up, so it might start out working OK on your fabric, but in a few minutes it might be too hot. Use low for synthetics like the package says. I have not used the hot knife yet, but I hope to try it the next time I need to cut out nylon, etc. There is a you tube video showing how to cut fabric with a hot knife, and it is very informative.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Clover Mini Iron II-The Adapter Set
I am a sewing machine embroiderer and do frequent appliques. I brought it with the intention of using the little irons to press my little applique pieces when applied (I like to fuse mine down before finalizing with the satin stitch). Well, I found it was also perfect when I was sewing toddler John Johns....the tool was handy to have near by for the little seams, and not having to use the large iron ...Also..I used the hot knife blade for cutting/ searing ribbon so it wouldn't fray. I bought all three pieces.... the stand wasn't necessary, but handy when the iron was hot and needed to prop or cool it.... all the attachments would fit in this case...but then again, it wouldn't hold the iron itself for storage. So the case does this.Also...this style Clover Iron has the finger guards...which it super nice, and I burned a finger on one of the regular Clover irons...
so the longer I have this set, I am finding more uses! Not just a fun toy, but a welcome tool !
