Well I did get to use it today when I was pressing fabric for a "Cheese & Crackers" quilt. I will say....it REALLY helped cut down my pressing time. I was kinda excited because I was able to get the pressing done with and on to the cutting very quickly. :)
You bet! I love mine and have had it for a couple of years now. But, I didn't drill any holes or add the aluminum foil layer to it. I figured I'd just replace the top if it ever became necessary, as it'd be pretty well ratty/ugly/dirty by then anyway. But, I've had no problems with heat, steam or warping. My iron really produces the heat and steam. So, I'm not certain the absence of drilled holes or foil will be a problem or if that's someone's idea of a 'just in case' fix :)
I wanted to say I'm also working on a Cheese & Crackers with 30's fabric :) Easy pattern...but it feels like it takes forever! I saw one hanging in our LQS that was brights on a black background...it was cute :)
Nice room! I'd sure like to have that much space :)
