Ironing board
#1
I was watching the tutorial to cover a pizza box and ended up looking at the ironing board she was using. I looked it up on line and found it at Walmart.com for $249.00. Is an ironing board really worth that much? I know it has a very nice large surface, but I guess it can be done with a piece of plywood. Anyone has this board?

My DH made my board for me many years ago. Bought a piece of 1/2" plywood. Cur in half lengthwise. Put braces, using scrap wood, around the sides so it would not slide. Covered with regular batting, then cotton batting. Made a cover out of muslin and I have a nice big board. At the time it was less that $25. Big difference from the $125 it was going for then.

I saw one at the Sewing Expo, it was called the Big Board.
I wasn't willing to pay big bucks so I made one for myself.
It's really heavy, I guess I only need one piece of board.... I used a high loft batting, it's really squishy, I think I should have just used a cotton batting.... I covered it in the same silvery material that they used on ironing boards....
Anyway, it's setup next to my 5' sewing table downstairs. I now have a 5' by 6' area for quilting.
My cousin said that it could be made using Luan, which would make it much lighter.
I guess when I have some time.....
