I have had experience with a wringer (mangle) on old washing machine and
also the Mangle Ironer. My Aunt E. had an ironer (Uncle was the Jones that
everyone tried to keep with ;) that mamma would use to do up her banquet
size linen brocade table cloth once a year. But I had never heard of
mangling with a rolling pin.
I expect that it would apply the same principal as the way Mamma did linen
handkerchiefs. She would put them dripping wet onto a hard smooth surface
and stretch and finger press them and leave to dry.
She used the bathroom mirror - when it fell off it was dry. I use the edge
of tub for my small lace trimmed hankies. Some say the best is the top of
the dryer - the heat speeds the drying.
If it is put on sopping wet it will stick to a smoth surface, even verticle;
and when finger pressed, it comes off when dry as if ironed.
For a larger piece of lace, I will try the rolling pin method.
