I wanted to make a new cover for my ironing board and started to use canvas. I washed it and pressed the canvas and then tried to press the folds out of it. The iron imprinted on the canvas on the first try, leave marks like a burn/scorced mark and the iron wasn't even hot. Skipped the canvas and went to an outdoor uphostery fabric, that worked much better. It worked Ok...until I tipped over my iron and didn't see it soon enough and it left a scorch mark. I then decided to made a "removeable" cover for it that can be washed. The removeable cover is made from fabric from my stash and lined with muslin.
