I always hang my sheets on the line, and yes, I do iron them. At least I iron the top and pillow slips. The fitted bottom is just too difficult to do.
Actually, we use twin duvet covers for our twin size comforters, and we sleep on a king size mattress. So it is the duvet covers I iron.
Well, let me qualify that. I have an old fashioned "Ironite" mangle and I use that to do my ironing. I iron EVERYTHING that needs ironing, which means that I iron all my husband's shirts and cotton slacks and all my own clothes as well.
My REAL iron is in my sewing room, and there it stays to iron my blocks.
An Ironite? Oh, you are so lucky. I had to leave mine in Ca. when we moved to the midwest. Since then I have got a steam press which is really nice but it is not my ironrite.
