When the pile gets so high it threatens to fall over, start a new stack. I can do this on the sofa while watching Wheel of Fortune!
Then I go to the iron and the whole stack gets ironed in record time with no burnt fingers. And because the iron is on for a much shorter time, that's saving money too.
