Why don't you try going straight to the source. Tommy is a TQS member. Go to his profile page and send him an email. Otherwise, i can tell you I ordered the iron from the Vermont Country Store (just because Margo said it was good, and she's never led us astray )

Hi Laura,

When on the road we use an antique travel iron I found at a flea market. The iron on the Boulder set is also an antique with a flat sole plate. We like both of these irons as they are very hot and do not shut off.

I really like the dry iron from the Vermont Country Store that BJ mentioned.

It gets HOT fast, is doesn't turn itself off, and I like the weight and pointy tip for pressing seams.

I've had the dry iron that's seen at Home Depot and the Always Free Shipping site. The temp gauge fell apart QUICKLY on both of them.
I might try the Vermont Country Store one but was super interested in the one Tommy used because of the way of holding it.
Thanks!

I don't know about his, but here's a dry iron:

When I want a hot dry iron, I just use my Rowenta travel iron and never fill it with water. Works great, though I like steam when pressing quilt squares. They get nice and flat.

I'll go check out the 'net to see if there's anything like it. I loved the look of it! Thanks.

I noticed that it looked like my GE travel iron..from the 60s..complete with cloth covered cord !
I have two..the second one from a yard sale ! as a spare ! Would not part with them !!

Does anyone know the brand of iron Tommy was using in his show?
Much thanks!
Laura
