Like Snooze2978 I had my DH cut a board 24" x 48" with skids so I can pick it up easily if I want to. I covered it with Insulbrite, then cotton batting, then canvas, stapling to the back. I then made 2 muslin covers with rounded corners and casing edges to run a cord through so I can wash periodically, as I use starch. To make them taut on the board I used elasticized clips sold at bedding places with garter like clips at each end (something like we used to use to keep mittens from getting lost on kids jackets, only longer elastic) Here is a picture: I just put my cutting board on top when I need to use it, rather than remove the ironing board. Hope this helps. I can press an entire width of fabric or half a quilt.
