Ironing a fabric tube

I make a lot of fabric tubes and have had a hard time ironing them so they lay nice and straight. Now I have a trick that has been a life saver and thought I would share.
Make your tube as usual and turn it inside out.
 Then cut a piece of cardboard so that it is slightly skinnier then your fabric tube and insert it into you tube.
 Line your seam up straight and iron flat.
Remove your piece of cardboard and press once more so it is nice and flat. That's it!
