Nice table. If I were you I would cover the pressing board with batting
and canvas then make a separate cover that you can wash when needed.
Velcro sounds like a great idea as long as it keeps the cover taut.
Probably needs velcro all around not just small strips. The only problem
I can think is that it might make it slippery. Not sure. My cover is stapled to
the back and I also put some shelf liner underneath. Let us know how it
works.
