Pressing surface firmness- what do you use?
Hi ladies and gents… I've been working on tuning my basic skills (I think I've developed some bad habits along the way) and I had a question about pressing surfaces. I've seen several tutorials about using a bit of board and covering it with a layer of batting and then canvas or similar to create a firm pressing surface. The people in the tutorials have stressed the importance of a firm pressing surface. I've always just used my ironing board, but am beginning to wonder if it's a source of distortion or other such undesirables during pressing because of it's layer of soft foam. Have any of you tried both and have a preference? Have you seen a difference in your patchwork? Thanks!
