I had my husband make me one of these several years ago, i had seen one at a quilt show one time, and thought i know he could make one for me, just like this. I just love it, i use it all the time, i keep it next to sewing machine, It is so much easier pressing blocks, you dont have to get up and down up and down. Just turn your chair and press. Periodically i have to change the top,thats real easy to do.
