A week ago I was down visiting my son, Jesse, and his family in North Carolina. Jesse is training for the Special Forces. While there, he was gathering items from a required list of things he needed. One of the items on the list was his uniform tie. When he looked, there were wrinkles in the linen material. His wife, Melissa, came to me asking if I knew how to remove the wrinkles. They didn't own an iron and it was important that it be looking like new. Here is the tie showing the wrinkles.
As I thought about it, I wondered if you couldn't flatten it with a heavy book or weight, but he didn't have the time. He needed it taken care of soon. The more I thought, I wondered if you couldn't heat a clean pan on the stove and run that over the material. So I placed a linen towel on top of a cutting board and laid the tie down as flat as possible on the edge of the linen dish towel.
I folded the other side of the towel over the tie. Next, I ran the pan over the tie hoping for the best.
That spot on the towel was from the bottom of the pan. I'm thankful I folded the towel over the top of the tie before using the pan as the makeshift iron.
The tie came out pretty flat. Nice save.
