Peck- he just needs to stand on the other side of the board! lol
Hey - at least he irons his own shirts! :thumbup: |
Peggi, if he's left-handed, doesn't he iron with the narrow end on the right anyway? All the lefties I know do.

Yeah, my ironing board is turned too.

I'm starting to wonder why we even need the boards that taper at one end. Most quilters I know make those wide tops for their boards. |
That's the way my daughter uses hers. Doesn't work for me, though. I can't get the hand of ironing shirts and blouses with the narrow end on the right. Would be great for ironing quilt tops though.

What a simple solution! Thanks for sharing with those if us who are more conventional! I will def give it a try. :-)

I'm so confused!!!!! I didn't know there was a certain way that the ironing board would normally stand. I've lived in a trailer forever so I have to haul it out into the kitchen when I want to use it and I've never set it up a certain way, it just depends on which way I open it that particular day (narrow end to the right...narrow end to the left). when I quilt it's all dependent on which way I walk up to it...as my sewing machine is over here but my cutting area is on the table over there...so I access both sides.
|
That's what I do. Set the iron on the narrow side and you have more room to iron (if you are right handed)
|
I always iron next to a counter and set my iron on it. I had a baby couson that pulled the iron off the ironing board by the cord. It fell on his little hand and as a baby he has to have several skin grafts from his little legs. <o:p></o:p>

Great idea. Thanks for sharing
