The Tailor Board (also known as an ironing anvil or ironing block) is a specialized ironing aid that helps you achieve professional and precise results—especially on difficult or curved seams like sleeves, collars, or darts. Unlike a traditional ironing board, it features special shapes and curves that are perfectly tailored to the contours of garments.
Why is it better than a regular ironing board?
A classic ironing board is flat and not suitable for curves, corners, or tight areas. The Tailor Board solves this problem with tailored curves, points, and narrow contact surfaces that enable wrinkle-free ironing.
History of the Tailor Board: From Invention to Today
The Tailor Board has a fascinating history:
Invention: The modern Tailor Board was developed by June Kroenke, a passionate seamstress. She founded the company June Tailor, Inc. in 1962 to sell her patented sewing aids.
Origins: As early as the 19th century, specialized ironing tools such as the collar board and ironing egg were developed. The Tailor Board combined these ideas into a multifunctional tool.
