There are fusible quilt battings available. I used one, Mountain Mist, on a large quilt and needed help to get it pressed. We put a couple blankets and towels down on pass through counter top. I suppose you could use dining room table or cutting table, just be sure to protect the surface from the heat of the iron. I am not a fan of poly batting, so will not use again. I have seen there is a cotton one now, maybe put out by Hobbs. You may need to check that out.
