The wooden boards also make great plant stands in front of windows, long tables behind sofas, and, of course, quilt display racks. ;-)

I've laundered mine several times.
My only 'big' complaint is that the cover is raveling around the stitching where it stretches around the ironing board, it is an expensive cover that I bought at a quilt show.
Now I would like to convert it to a 'big board' with a firmer surface, just using muslin for the cover.

I searched high and low for a new--they were all light weight cotton with thin lining. I finally found one at Clothilde-it has the lines and measurements on it (which I don't use, not accurate) but it is thick canvas fabric and I kept my old one under it. I just couldn't throw it away LOL>
