I don't know of anyone who really likes to iron. We all know the people who iron their sheets, their T-shirts, and maybe even their jeans (I'm not sayin that's bad :) but they likely don't really love it. When I was growing up, one of my extra "jobs" was to iron. And no, I did not love it! Well the ironing piles were not small. Baskets and baskets full (yep, my Mom had me iron T-shirts!) I was supposed to get a certain amount for each item I ironed. So I would iron and sweat my guts out, and go onto the next basket. I would total up the bill for my parents, but alas I would get a few bucks here and there. I could say my ironing bill is still unpaid, but then again when I need fabric, I just go shopping at my Mom's! I can call it even--Okay probably not, I had a roof over my head and food to eat, right?! In all reality, I'm probably WAY in the hole, but who's counting.
Ironing clothes and ironing fabric are two completely different things! I find a small amount of joy in ironing when I quilt. Mostly because it makes the next step that much easier and the professional look of the quilt is MUCH higher. If you hate ironing, I have one suggestion, get a cute ironing board cover. If you can't find one, make one! Check this one out! I LOVE IT! There are instructions on how to make it on this link too!
