If you only had room for one table
I have this really pretty changing table that I want to repurpose into a table for my quilt room. The bad thing about it is that it has a railing that I can't remove. So I know I'm going to have to add a top - probably out of plywood. I don't really have room for separate tables for cutting and pressing. Which is my better option - to cover it with plywood, batting and fabric and then just use a cutting mat when needed? Does anyone have trouble using a mat on a padded surface? Or, should I add a top made of something like melamine and then buy yardage of ironing board fabric and cover it when I need to press?
I read a lot of great advice on this board and I sincerely welcome yours.
Thanks,
Julie
