I have the Sullivan's hobby table that fits the 36" x 59" cutting board. Nancy's Notions sells a ironing cover for it. I use that and wash it when it needs it. But I do use the Elmer's glue method for doing bindings, so I use a muslin piece, folded over several times from my midarm practicing. When it gets so stiff that it could stand on it's own, I wash it, bleach and all. Surprisingly, bleaching doesn't seem to make a any difference on the thread.
