Joanna, is Tony's iron the 980? I just got that one from Allbrands and thought I paid a pretty good price (199. no shipping) but I see that you'all have paid a lot less so now I'm jealous!! I never thought I'd ask for an iron for Christmas but I truly thought it would help with my sewing, etc. So far it's been pretty good but a lot heavier than my old one so I'm having to learn new techniques. I'll be first in line at Tony's demo on the next cruise we're on! Merry Christmas all.
