I covered a piece of plywood, then secured it to a rolling cart so I can iron at my sewing machine and I can move it in to hold up the quilt while I am FMQ. I covered it in batting , then used the batting for hot mitts that has the silver reflective material in it and positioned it so the reflective material was facing up. Covered the whole thng with home dec fabric from Walmart. The reflective batting helps you to "iron" from both sides. I wanted something to make it easy to iron my yardage before I cut, since I prewash anything that is going to be used on a bed and will be washed.
