Hi E, I have adopted the inverse of your ironing-avoidance strategy; I have an iron but no ironing board. <lol> Actually I never learned to iron except things that are just flat like napkins and tablecloths, which I don't own and don't believe in ironing. Cloth napkins should have gone out of existence upon the invention of the paper towel as far as I'm concerned--cloth napkins don't actually absorb anything! <lol> Kellie
