Default Making your own pressing table

While in our Motorhome, I decided it would be a good idea to make a portable pressing table, as there is limited space, and also I could use it when at my quilting retreat. I hunted around and found a great tutorial for making my own.

When I make mine, I will go to one of the local carpet stores, and purchase a piece of 3/4 inch thick wool underlay, probably a strip that is 6 feet long, and use 5 feet for my ironing board, and the other 1 foot for my portable pressing table. The wool underlay when I press will give me a much better press, also using the suggested insulation and batting as proposed in the tutorial. (Some shops will cut this amount for you, and some won't - you may have to check out a few shops)

Check out this fabulous tutorial for making your own:
