I have a June Taylor Quilter's Cut-N-Press. The cutting side is in reasonable shape, but the ironing side is a mess. It is scorched and has some stray fusible interfacing goo on it which sometimes makes it sticky. I would love to know how to go about re-covering it. Can you tell how you did it?
I bought the heat resistant fabric from JoAnn's, cut it 1-1/2" larger than the surface I was going to cover & then I used FabriTac glue to glue it down. I pulled the corners in nice & snug, then did the sides as I went. Wish I would have the sides a little tighter but I think it will be just fine.
