This is so true! I actually pull my ironing board over when I'm ready to quilt. I lower it to match the height of my table and that way while I'm quilting my quilt doesn't hang over the edge of the table and yank my quilt about. I just hate it when that happens! And it usually takes me a few minutes to realize the problem and by that time my stitches have become all herky jerky. :evil: The ironing board trick has saved me a lot of frustration!
