Making your own ironing board Have others made one? Like it?
tgm and Kittys Advanced Beginner WI USA Member since 2010 Posts: 5051	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/20/12 9:44 AM I was watching a tutorial on Missouri Star Quilting for making an ironing "board". It seemed like a very neat idea to me & portable too. Basically a board about 24 inches I think she said, with old towel as the backing & then covered in a big pillowcase. Has anyone made one? Do you like it? Is it as light weight as it seemed on the video? Easy to take places? Thank you for responses.. ------

I wouldn't use toweling though I would use fleece. There is a special fleece you can get, I got it for some pot holders I never made so the heat does not transfer. That might be useful in making your own board so no heat gets to the wood. I forget what it's called will try to find out. heat resistent fleece -- Edited on 1/20/12 10:03 AM -- They sell this at Joanns with the interfacing here it's behind the counter joanns -- Edited on 1/20/12 10:06 AM -- I mention Joanns cos of the coupons and sales -- Edited on 1/20/12 10:07 AM --

I have a computer table for sewing and and old wood typing table (remember those they are no longer sold) lol as my L shape I have a lamp on it and my cutting/pressing board and iron. Use to keep my serger there when I was sewing clothing. June Tailor I got this with a 50% off coupon at Joanns approx $15 worth the investment. Easier then going back and forth to the big table behind me

I have one always forget about it. But the more current ones are nicer and also usually come with stand mine doesn't have one. I would love to find a decent lightweight iron. Most of them now are so heavy.

Do you think you can order the double sided board like yours online? I did order scissors from JF before Christmas it took a while but they came okay. Not sure would the June Taylor board travel okay? What do you think? ... I do not know if the store would hold it at sale price for me til I could make it there, I know that Hancock's will not do it... winter.... Brother!!! Thank you! ------

A bit more on June Tailor. Let's try Amazon. 111" by 11" 12" by 18" The second is a real deal. It mostly runs $40-50 not on sale.
