I have a big board my dad made. He just split a piece of 3/4 plywood in half and put boards on the back to hug the ironing board. I then covered mine with Ironslide from Bonash. You can get a pattern on how to make the board and the cover from Nancy's Notions. Actually I added it up and my dad has made about 18 of these boards for my friends in our quilting group. So nice to use.
