Why would you have done it any other way?
|
Duh.... how simple! How effective.

I started doing this years ago, but I do use the tapered end of the board for some ironing- esp clothes and homemade pillowcases and pillowcase dresses. For yardage- i love the wide covered plywood board the Guild has.

[QwssUOTE=SWEETPEACHES;5230126]I turned my ironing board around so that the narrow end is on my right (I''m right handed). It gives me more surface to iron large pieces of fabric.[/QUOTE]
OMG....BRILLIANT...I'm gonna do that tonite! |

I always have my board set this way, as I am lefthanded. Learned to sew and iron from my lefthanded grandmother.
So I don't understand the big deal!!! |
interesting ... thanks for sharing

My DH made me a large board which he covered with batting and then fabric and I sit it on my ironing board, but, I can take it off when I need to use the narrow end of the ironing board. For some reason, it doesn't move around when I sew. I thought I'd have a problem with that, but I think with the top fabric sitting on the fabric from the ironing board, it's kind of like velcro.

I have used the wide end for years. Two ironing boards together makes for a real nice surface for pressing quilts; however, there is that gap... but it works. It makes for about a 24" surface.
