I have two sleeve boards and use one of them all the time. One is always 'ready' beside me when piecing a quilt top. I have it sitting on a small table beside me while I'm sitting at the SM. I'll stitch a bit then press a bit in the construction part. One is always set up on my assembly table where I lay out my quilt pieces. I seldom use my regular sized ironing boards other than when pressing things as they come out of the dryer - if needed. The sleeve boards are so handy to be used anywhere I might be working.
