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?

hang from the hem at the seams that attach the back of the shirt to the sides. If I hang them inside then I put them on hangers and hang them on the clothes horse (airer)

Hem. Closed because DH takes them off over his head without undoing the buttons and no one else wears shirts. For tops made of jersey or anything stretchy, shoulder or underarm seams. I do trousers by the hem too, especially jeans, so they can flap about more at the waist end which takes longer to dry than the hem end. Jeans definitely dry faster that way.

Hem with matching pegs or on a hanger.

Pegs go at bottom for tops and top for bottoms.

So hem it is!

Hem so any marks from dirty pegs or washing line are hidden when worn.

Hem. And trousers from ankles

Hem for me too, and for the record I also hang trousers by the ankles. I try to hang things so the heaviest part is loose and hanging, to drag the creases out. Doesn't always work, but one week in two I can get away without ironing my work trousers. Shirts get ironed regardless, but I don't need to waste time ironing out peg marks from the shoulders!

so far no peg marks.
I don't iron at all don't know where the iron is after moving

I use a hanger and line dry so no need for ironing. If I pegged I would do it from the bottom so no marks on the shoulders.

Hem.

But on an airer I don´t peg but put it over under the arms.

Armpits on the washing line.

Hangers on my pole (that my lovely DH put up for me) when hung indoors.

Hem - coming from a daughter and wife of members of HM Forces - easier to iron every time.

Hem, at the side seams. That's how my dmum does it, and she is Always Right. And you don't want to argue with her, otherwise she will deploy the Look - that still makes me shake in my shoes, at the grand old age of 47!!

Hanger on the edge of the airer. Means they stay in shape and don't take up airer space

Armpits, doesn't leave as big marks to iron out.

OMG I never knew I was doing it wrong all these years - stacey I'm with you, fold over the collar, so the bit thats never seen is against the line and peg it

trousers it depends on material and where pleats are , if any -so
kids leggins etc, hang from waist, DH work trousers or school uniforms, hang with creases in (sideways) & upside down)

Hem

Stacey I'm so glad someone else does this too - reading through these responses, I was starting to feel like a weirdo!! Never had a problem with peg marks either - it seems like the logical place to peg them to me!

I was taugh to hang 'tops by the bottoms and bottoms by the top' so by that rule shirts by the hem.
