More and more Items ; require little or no ironing. 5 But let's face it. . every launJ dry hamper is bound to con; tain some things that need f more than touch-up pressing. | Ironing will be smoother and I quicker if you adopt the proce| dures which follow: r To iron large flat pieces, { reverse the board so you can * use every inch of the board, t rectangular end. Or choose a { board with a tip which expands : to rectangular shape. i To ease back strain, use an ; adjustable board at correct : height. Stand for large, flat j pieces so your arm can make ; a full swing the length of the t board. Otherwise, iron while : seated; this may seem awk; ward, but is easier and more ; comfortable once you develop • the knack. Start with small j pieces, progressing to more | difficult items. ■ s With skill, an ironer will turn $ out in an hour as much as half ^ a day's hand-ironing. Observe | a trained demonstator, then t practice. Once techniques are ; perfected, an ironer will give s a professional finish to every* thing from ruffles to flat work.
