    As some of you know, I recently took a class taught by Sharon Schamber. During class she discussed pressing boards and how important they were for quilting. They are super easy and inexpensive to make. My dh made 2 for me today. Sharon provides a free video explaining how to make them:

    Hey Thanks! And if you happen to scorch something (like I did today!) all you need to do is wipe the spot with peroxide and use a warm iron on it. Poof, it's gone!

    Thanks so much for sharing! DH watched the video with me and, as soon as it was finished, asked, "So, what size do you want?" Yippee!! :D
