Iron is PEEING ON EVERYTHING!

I have a moderately priced iron from a department store. It has been
OK as a replacement for a better one I had that died. I am trying to
press out some satin for customer's project and it ruined the first
piece I had by spewing water out all over it suddenly. It was on "DRY"
setting and not even halfway filled. I thought perhaps it was not hot
enough and being horizontal maybe some valve wasn't shut yet. Its now
done it several more times, "ruining" new satin pieces and its taken
all the physical discipline I have to not chunk it across the room.
IS THERE AN IRON OUT THERE THAT DOESN"T COST A FORTUNE THAT
WORKS????????????????????????????????????????? What do I do for the
satin now that its all pieced together adn I can't just go start with
new fabric. I tried washing the first fabric and it never ironed out
straight again. I added starch and that irons nicely but you can see
the starch(sizing) spots.
I WILL NEVER ATTEMPT A WEDDING GOWN at the rate. :o(
