jmoore - your room is so cheery and your design board is delightful & fun with all of your interesting and colorful blocks!!
My board looks the same as janjanq - I made my top cover and it is patterned - I periodically wash it to remove residue from the starching. Underneath the top cover I have a thin thermal batting and then a few layers of flannel to help preserve the heat when ironing. Right now I have to replace the string that holds everything in place - came out during the last washing but haven't taken the time
- I have the top cover creeping up and off sometimes and it's very annoying - guess it's one job that I really should try to get done asap so that I'm not tugging, smoothing and pulling at it every time I press
- just being lazy
- I want to keep sewing fun things!!
