Good job, Sweetpeaches.

Me too... the small end is just right for the iron and leaves me more wide space for ironing...

kaylfordsollimo.... do tell... how did you make your add-on? inquiring minds want to know...

I put the pointed end on my left side and iron on the wide part too. I set my iron on a potholder on the countertop I have in my sewing room. I try to face the iron so a cat can't get to it. I always turn it off, unless I have to leave the room for a split second. I'm glad you thought of doing this.
