pegging shirts - please settle an argument for me!

[MousyMouse]

mil (lovely lovely person) says peg at hem.
I peg at shoulders.

my reasons

• I don't have a line, only a wing airer so long arms would dreg on the floor
• the fabric gets streched too much with the weight of the arms pulling down

aibu?

Hem - and trousers by the ankles. If they're pegged by the waist I don't think they dry properly.

Hem on washing line outside. Indoors, I dry shirts on hangers.

I'm with Mammatj's mantra. Hem.

Or if delicate material, on a hanger, then on the line via a little plastic jobby from Lakeland.

Hem.

I peg on the side seams of the hem.

I fold the collar over the line and peg there, I must be weird

Hem. It's a fact. I learnt it at Brownies.

Sorry - but you're all wrong

You should hang your shirts on proper hangers (not wood, but of a good quality plastic variety, as the fabric is still wet) and then hang the hangers on the line.

peg marks on the collar?

hem of course

Hem with colour matched pegs

My mother is of the opinion that you should peg by the hem, with the open side facing the prevailing wind, then the wind can get in more fill them up thus eliminating creases.

Tumble dry everything even if it is 30oc outside

"If you wear it on the top, hang it from the bottom and if you wear it on the bottom hang it from the top"

Apparently

Trousers, shirts etc get put over line about halfway up with 2 pegs to hold them. They dry just fine and all gets ironed anyway (baffled).
I didn't know there were rules and I went to Brownies!!

Shoulder seams, you have to iron things if you leave the sleeves flapping about.

Never peg shirts, always dry on their hangers - less creases too

A-hem.

Obv.

Hem on line.
On hanger from clotheshorse inside.

Love a washing thread.
Has anyone said they've never owned an iron in their life yet?

Hem at the side seams for shirts but I have massive rotary washing line.

Trousers are pegged at the waistband as water drains downwards so this being double thickness material helps to dry it.

Also I don't peg things closed, ie I only peg the back of the trouser waistband to allow air to circulate, also the same with pillowcases, and I peg t-shirts from the hem, again only the back.

The only exception to this rule is duvet covers are they are just too big i am anal

YABU
"tops on the bottom, bottoms on the top" is the rule

I do exactly what Fizzy Lemonade does!
With the addition of leaving the open side of shirts facing out so that the air can circulate around.
Duvet covers I hang on the rotary using two rows of line so that they can flap around more!

closed. hem.

Hem or hanger

another here who says hang from the bottom!

Or if you have an airer hang on a hanger from the airer - thats what I do!

Never had a peg mark on the collar when I peg there but they are ironed too!
