What is heat n bond?

I am going to search my stash for some of that old gingham printed in one inch squares. That would help to square up blocks as you press, using the lines in the gingham. Wouldn't that make a fine ironing board cover??

I recently had to redo mine because it was just plain worn out. I tried one from a local store and the fabric in is scorched and ripped in a very short time-like two months. So I made one out of duck cloth. Cotton duck is not quite as heavy as canvas but very durable. I used a layer of 80/20 batting that I sewed onto the duck cloth-just the shape of the ironing board and put this over the pad that came with the board. I used a draw string to tighten it. I have used it for several months and it has no scorches or bad places.

Very nice. I see that you have one of those wider ironing boards, too.

I want to show you what I'm doing with my Ironing cover board: I made some measurements on it with a non watersoluble writer!!! so I can see when I'm ironing my scraps how big their are!!!

I have that ironing board too and it is next to impossible to find a new cover for it. I have had to make new ones to change out ever so often out of necessity! Yours looks really nice with the neutral print. I also made a fat quarter sized flat ironing board for my sewing desk and use a cover similar to a pillow case to change it out every couple weeks. It is a lazy girl's way of pressing. LOL...

THat's creative and "green". I see nothing wrong with using what you have, it's unique and WORKS!
