Where can I find an ironing board that is more pointy at the end?
Thanks.

Thanks, this came at the perfect time, my WIP has princess seams… and really needs pressing.

Nikki, mine’s just a substandard IKEA ironing board so I thought it must be the normal shape. I hadn’t realised there were variations!

Cool! My ironing board is more pointy at the end than yours but i’m sure with a little manipulation this would be a better way than trying to iron it on the flat of the board.
