An iron has to go somewhere between passes, and the usual options are a cover, a counter, or a stack of clothes. This rest, listed as model 3131, exists to take it instead: one fixed spot for the appliance that keeps the soleplate off everything else.
Parking an iron on the board itself means moving it again the moment the garment shifts, and parking it on a counter risks the surface. A rest gives the appliance one address throughout a session, which shortens the routine to lift, press, and set down in the same motion each time.
The point of a rest is separation: the hot soleplate sits clear of the cover, the garment being pressed, and the pile waiting its turn. That matters most during the pauses, when an iron left face down on cloth is the usual way a cover scorches or a shirt picks up a mark.
Catalogued as model 3131, the rest belongs to the group of small pieces that make a pressing setup work: a board, a cover, a sleeve board, and somewhere to put the iron. None of them change what the iron does, and all of them change how little attention the surroundings need.
Single large canvas tote, 22 inches wide, with a vinyl-coated interior and long reinforced handles that clear a shoulder.
