i have my ironing board at the same height as my sewing table.. and directly behind me.. btwn me & dd... so both of us have our backs to the ironing board & can both spin around to press...
works in our limited amount of room.. |
My iron is several feet away from my sewing machine, this way I have to get up and move! Keeps from having circulation problems. My cutting table is the same way - about 7 feet from my sewing machine - same reason.

I press constantly and I purposely have my ironing board in another room at the opposite end of the house. Trying to get my 10,000 steps a day in. It helps, but I'm still not there.

I also have my ironing board set at the same height as my cutting table with a large pressing board on top, so for larger projects I can sit (I have physical issues with standing for any time at all) and get all my pressing done. |
I keep my ironing board up and get up to iron when needed. It really is good to get up and move around. Sitting is bad for circulation and your back when sewing for long periods of time. So my thinking is sit, stand, sit, stand lol :)
