    Well Sharon, that is exactly what I finally did and got great results. I guess I forgot the rules of KISS...keep it simple, stupid! I bought 1 1/3 yard of WnN, folded it four times and that became the pressing mat. I ironed about 60 yards of fabric tonight in record time, less than 2 hours.

    I had taken a trip to Marden's of Maine last month and bought a ton of fabric for backings at $3/yd. Lots of Moda and RJR! I washed it all yesterday and was dreading pressing it, until I thought of using my cutting table and a pressing mat large enough to iron 2' at a time. I just put too much work into making the mat...but thanks to members, I got a better solution.
