Small Iron For Craft And Corners

Hello, I am making some christmas decorations to send to Australia, and my old Clover craft iron has given up the ghost. As I have sometimes wondered about getting a small iron for collars and other fiddly dress making work, I am wondering about a replacement that would do that job, and would appreciate feedback.

I need it quickly as the person going to Australia leaves in 2 weeks!

I've got the Prym mini iron which is good. I use it for small pieces and ironing on interfacing.

I have the prym mini iron and it’s great. I’ve had it since 2020 and it’s still going strong. It’s great for interfacing and pressing seams while I am sewing. I use it with a mini ironing board which is always set up in my sewing area and saves the need to get the big iron and ironing board out!

I know we all have our own views of Mr Bezos's company but prices do tend to be competitive and delivery is quick.. That said, I gave up with the little sewing irons. One leaked water everywhere each time I used it and the power cord pulled out of the second. Third time I just bought this travel iron and I have to say it is brilliant. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tefal-Travel-Ready-Foldable-Lightweight-DB1612G0/dp/B0H2MSSCFT/ref=asc_df_B0H2MSSCFT?mcid=3cea5471d6a1309ca9a1e658b3ae7da5&th=1&psc=1&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=802145431574&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8804673856198319166&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045728&hvtargid=pla-62138251379&psc=1&hvocijid=8804673856198319166-B0H2MSSCFT-&hvexpln=m-uk85exp1&hvsb=player2&gad_source=1
