I bought a length of trim from Home Depot. I tried to find half round, but couldn't, so got a piece that's rounded enough. The wood I got was about $7.50 for an 8' piece. When I got it home I cut off a 2' piece and kept the rest long. I use the 2' section on my small ironing table, that's right beside my sewing machine and the long one for my large ironing board. Now when I go to iron my one block wonder tops, just place the wood on the ironing board, lay the top over and line up the seam you are going to press on top of the molding. The wood holds the fabric up a bit and the rest drapes down. If your section isn't real long or wide, holding it up at an angle with the hand that's not holding the iron. Stick the nose of your iron in to get the seam open and go. It works slick.
