Bessie,
Are you saving the picture AFTER it is rotated? If you don't save it and give it another name, (or choose "save changes" to the original file name), it will revert back to it's original position.
If you open the photo named "Ironing board" and needs to be rotated, then rotate, then choose FILE, SAVE AS, give it a new name like "Ironing Board 1" and save it. Then open again to see if it fixed the problem.
Hope that helped.
Diane

My work work is on cabinets. They are 34 1/2" tall plus I have them set up on 2" bricks (to give me a little head start in case there's *any issues with water* in the basement). So it's 36 1/2". I do stand on a couple of folded up rugs to cushion my feet and legs (hate cold concrete) and make up the 2 extra inches. It's just like your kitchen cabinets (if they're 34 1/2" tall + your countertop (1 1/2") = 36"). Measure your kitchen.
My BIG BOARD is used on top of my ironing board for ironing fabrics. I LOWER the board a couple of inches from it's highest position so my ironing arm shoulder does not have to lift up when I iron. Hope that made sense.? Trying to get ergonomically correct and take it easy on a sore shoulder.
Hope that helps you.

Quiltinghere, thank you for responding. So far I haven't done anything on the ironing board. I'm working on getting my stash cut into strips,FQ,FE,and on boards in my shelves- otherwise I wouldn't have room for a big board. Will probably have someone make me a cabinet, but I'll have to design it myself.

My husband made this ironing board top that fits over my regular Ironing board. I rarely take it off, but if I want to use the regular one, I just lift it off. As you can see my Nique loves to be on it. Thanks for those lint removers!
