Whats the CURVED EDGE of an IRONING BOARD for?

Hi. I'm trying to learn to iron... for university (and I haven't done an ounce of housework before).

An ironing board (well ours at least) have one 'curved' end to it (opposite side to that metal guiderail thing). What's that for? I guessed it was for trouser legs, but my trouser legs are much smaller than the ironing board.

Also if you're designed to put an iron upright when its on but you're not ironing (e.g. when moving the trousers to the subsequent patch) then why is in attendance a metal rail article??


Sorry if I sound a bit easy to fleece!!!


Answers:    Place the collared end of a shirt partly on the narrow fall so one whole partly of the front of the shirt is showing and flat to ease ironing the curious shape. You can move it around to get around seam and to move a small flat surface around for flattening. Place the waist end of trousers or skirt on that closing to flatten the waistband and pleats and seaming, you'd be surprised how far down the leg will fit. It's just so you can fit the pieces of a garment on the board flat when it would otherwise be awkward to go and get flat.
The metal rail thingy is for setting the iron down when it is not set on 'constant' steam, to be precise the only time you involve to set it up between ironing if you have the metal railing. If you don't have it, you set it up to avoid burning the board between if you be to lay it down.
