I wonder where she got that huge ironing board. I have seen the plans to make a rectangular top but never one as big as used in the video. I, too, will try this method particularly on smaller quilts.
I have a padded table that is 96" x 60" which I used when I customed draperies, bedspeads, etc. It is about 36" high, so no weary back. Now it is my table for basting and ironing, etc. large pieces of fabric. You are all invited to come and use same. Quilting friends will call and ask to use the table and it is easier to stretch the layers w/two people.
