My friend and I bought a 4' x 8' sheet of particle board, had Home Depot cut 2 squares out 36" by 43". Covered with 1 layer cotton batting and duck cloth from Joann's and it sits on top of 1/2 of my cutting table. Is big enough to press fabric and light enough to move if I need the whole table. The duck cloth is 60" wide so no seams. The whole gives a nice firm surface for pressing - love it!! Marlene
