That is an accomplishment. Why don't you put a little table on the side of your sewing machine, those folded table where you can put a little ironing board that you would take to classes and iron seams right off the machine? You can do it while sitting and since you are sewing and ironing you will get it done all at once. Then you wouldn't have to press all those 185 seams at once.
Just an idea, you can also lower the ironing board to the same height of the sewing table and place it in an L shape by your machine.
