Great list Peckish ... but you really do need to add the much needed chocolate to that list!
It's easy to forget the machine cords etc., so good to have them on the list.

Could you show us a picture of your clamped ironing station?
I'm curious how you have it made, so that the clamp will hold it steady as you press.

Another idea would be to make a double sided board with cutting mat on one side, and ironing pad on the other. Even if small, it can save a lot of trips to the cutting and ironing stations for the little bits of work. Yet it wouldn't take a lot of space at ones machine.
