I've been doing that for some time as well, but only when I'm pressing fabric. I still have the narrow end on the left when I'm ironing DH's shirts.

Both my daughters iron that way...it really is easier. I used to tell them they were doing it backwards...then I googled it and saw more pictures of it the way they were doing it! I can't seem to change.

I did that once in a sewing class and the instructor quickly said never do that. So in class, I never did, but at home my board is backwards most of the time so I can use the width. Seems like if it wasn't meant to be, the board wouldn't have been made that long and wide in the first place.

I heard this tip on Fons & Porter and I've done that too. Why didn't we think of it--lol.

Good idea--will have to try it. Never heard of it and I have been around for a number of years.

I wonder why? Did he/she explain?
