[quote=rivka]After listening to me kvetch about how annoying it is to iron 44 inch wide fabric on a regular ironing board (because of the tapering end), my husband made me an ironing board top. It's so awesome and big, I love it!]
Great that you have someone who will do things like this for you. I bought a 5' folding table at Office Depot when they had a sale and covered it with a mattress protective cover and a special ironing cover (got it at a quilt show). It is great. Sometimes would like it longer, but....
I also have a 6' folding table that I use for my cutting board....LOVE IT. I took 2" plastic plumbing pipe and cut it into 9" sections to "lift the table" so it would be high enough. My ironing table is not quilte as tall.
