I don't often iron. In fact I do everything I can to avoid clothing that "has" to be ironed. In fact, my definition of what "has" to be ironed is mostly limited to cotton clothing that has to be worn to my "professional" job and somehow got slept on by the dog while it was still damp from the washer. But I thought this was a fabulous use for an ironing board. I am warping the Harrisville for a big piece and not having enough warp cones to put on a sectional warp, I'm chaining. The ironing board is extremely adjustable for height, so I bet it would even work for you short people!
