when you iron two wet 6-yard pieces, don't they just drag all over the floor? if i did that i'd be washing the floor with them. i tried putting a laundry basket in front of the table but then i have to bend over to iron. do you know a secret?
I do big pieces more often than I do small ones. (I usually buy fabric and then decide what to use it for, so have learned the hard way not to buy small pieces if I have a choice.)
I put a dining room chair on the other side of my ironing board to catch the fabric and keep it off the floor, although not exactly wrinkle-free. Because I always iron damp fabric, I need to iron it twice anyway; by the time I've done the second pressing, hung it on a wooden clothes rack to finish drying, it is essentially wrinkle-free and has not mopped the floor.
