Covering the "batting"....can that be anything?
Thanks
I used Warm and Natural cotton batting. Two layers is enough I think. You don't want it so soft that it distorts your block when you press it. And you don't want polyester as it won't stand up to the heat of the iron. I just measured my makeshift ironing board and it's about 17" by 24" a leftover piece from making an extra large ironing surface for home. I'd stick with a cotton fabric that's colorfast or ironing board silver fabric you can get at Joanns to cover the batting.
