I have always ironed my shirts without a crease down the sleeve. In fact any long sleeved top I have does not have a crease down the sleeve. Am I the only one?

Sleepenvy, interesting you should say that as my missus thought I was mad. Her father is ex forces and always had to have sharp creases down the sleeve.

Well, I`ve managed it for years. Takes a little longer but I prefer it. Basically, iron both sides of the sleeve avoiding the edge. Then turn/fold the sleeve to iron where the crease "should" be also avoiding the edges. Ta Da! No crease in the sleeve.

I guess you don't go to the edges, then rotate the sleeve about it's length 90 degrees and iron down the middle again.

No I don't do this.

You must have a narrow iron or really wide arms.

Gotcha.

Although sounds like too much faff, crease for me.

Sleeves are the best bit. Easy.
