We're remodeling some rooms and while our carpenter was making shelves for my sewing room, I asked him to build me a cutting/pressing table based on some photos I gave him. He did great! It's not painted yet. The top and the extension leaf are topped with white laminate with a wood border. It's 24" x 52" and the extension leaf makes it 48" x 52". Good size for basting.

Now...I need a pressing pad to put on top. He cut me a piece of 1/4" plywood and I've seen posts about using a stapler to attach batting and a cover. Do you think velcro would hold the fabric cover tight enough? Would make it much easier to change. Has anyone done that?
