I made a table topper without binding. I sewed it RST and turned it right side out. Now I needed to get those seams pressed right. What a pain! I made myself an ironing board that I could put inside it through the opening in the seam. It was a 3" X 6" piece of Masonite that I just happened to have in my laundry room "maybe I'll need this some day" pile. I covered that with a layer of batt and then a cover of muslin. This was sewn on two sides, the board tucked inside and than sewn on the third side as close as I could. The end is left open.

I tucked that ironing board inside and pressed those seams with my miniature iron. Worked beautifully.
