Great table! I have made three ironing pads. Bought wood, had cut to size at hardware store, covered with batting and the silicon fabric and stapled to wood. Is great for retreats and sewing classes. I also have taken a TV tray table, covered the top with batting and silicon fabric and, because I could not find my heavy duty stapler, used some large thumb tacks hammered in place to hold the fabric. The table with mini iron (Avon special) sits next to my sewing chair. Love it!
