Which side of the ironing board do you prefer to use? (fashion, clothes)

[Pink Jazz]

I was wondering, which side of the ironing board do you prefer to use - the tapered side or the square side?

I much prefer to iron my button-down shirts on the square side myself; it seems so much easier and faster. I hate those ironing boards that have an iron rest on the square side; I would never use one of those. The tapered side I think is for women's dresses.

What’s a ironing board??)

People still iron?

My house still has the built-in ironing board that drops down from a cabinet original to the house (1959). I use it occasionally to touch up the wrinkles that don't come out in the dryer or for a new top. That being said, I can only use one side of the board, otherwise I'd be squashed right up against the window.

My ironing board is serving as a clothing pile base

When I must iron (not often, I promise) I prefer the tapered side, since it gives me more control over the amount of fabric I’m ironing.

I don't even think I own an ironing board.

Well, I do iron, but I don’t do it as often as I used to. I have a method for caring for clothes to minimize wrinkles.

But when I do iron, I use the board the old fashioned way. That tapered end works well for me.

But you know, do whatever works for you.

You aren’t ironing your knit shirts, are you?

Haven't ironed in twenty years.
Seriously.
Now I own neither an iron or a board.
They are worse than vacuum cleaners, which I haven't (thankfully) needed for TEN years!
