As I make mostly large quilts I hated to have to press them before I put them onto the frame so finally made a larger presser station to place over my ironing board. Would love a larger station but no room for it. I used a piece of .75" plywood 24" x 48, added brackets underneath to keep the board from shifting and covered it with cotton batting and ticking fabric. It sure saves me time when pressing large pieces of fabrics. True it still takes time to press those large quilts but now I can press 1/2 side down the length, then turn it around and press the other side. I'm in love with my pressing station.

Added note is I can still iron my shirts and open type skirts without having to remove the board. Only dresses do I have to do remove it so I'm even more happy.
