does this iron get hot enough to iron linen

Yes we have ironed linen with the iron, although we do not do so regularly. Seemed to work fine, as I remember. We use the iron a lot; bought it as a replacement to a similar, older Panasonic iron. No complaints at all with this iron.

It has an off button. You dial it to the type of fabric you will be pressing like perm press, cotton, linen. The steam temp will be determined by your fabric choice. It's a great iron.

Yes it does. However, this iron is no longer on the market. It is the best iron I have ever used and I miss it. I did get a used one but it was faulty so I sent it back.

Mine does not wet the fabric but it does put out quite a bit of steam. Working with small quilting parts, you could easily get a steam burn if you don't get your hand out of the way. You can adjust the steam but I've never tried as I like the steam. It is an awesome iron. Helen

I purchased this iron for quilting but so far have only ironed clothes with it. My previous irons were inexpensive

Yes. You shouldn't use more than 400 degrees when flat ironing & the smooth titanium plates prevent burning

It goes up to 400 degrees. The iron works pretty well, I have not encountered any problems.

Absolutely! Just be careful with your neck and the iron-extremely hot. Practice before your turns on the iron.

The Weller WLC100 is a better iron than I used for over 15 years. It will most certainly get the job done.

No, it does not have steam. The Dritz website says the iron will shut off after 60 minutes but it does not say that on the enclosed instructions and I for one have not tested that statement. If you quilt, sew or do crafts where you might need to press short seams it is handy for keeping at your workstation at home or in class. It's not suitable for anything but small jobs. You would not want to use it for household purposes.

Yes, it has worked well for me. It is made very well and is very thick. I use the heaviest steam setting and typically iron for an hour or more and this has never been an issue for me.

It gets very hot so I would not recommend that. I have never had a burn using the iron normally.

I have the smaller Solia iron (about 3/4"). The handles used for gripping do not get hot at all; the area surrounding the plates don't get hot either, maybe a little warm. I have mine set at about 300 degrees. Hope this helps.

I have not send any shine on my fabrics from this iron. I use it on the highest setting because most of my ironing is on cotton fabric for quilting. One or two passes over the fabric is all that is required so remove the most stubborn wrinkles!!

I love this iron. I do think it gets really hot and no water leaks on the clothes.

The iron does get hot; it is a very small iron. Do not know about transferring to wood but if a regular iron would do it, then I would imagine that this small one would as well. Really for very small work - I use for appliqué work with fabric.

The settings go from min to max. I use the Max for quilting cottons and it is very hot. It also heats up very quickly. The only drawback is that the steam holes are only on the tip of the plate.
