I have my grandmother's old ironing board since it is stable unlike many new ones. If I want one next to my machine, I have my child's ironing board that I and my daughter used when we were little. I't now an antique (like me) Fun!

Quilt shops have "quilt boards" that fit right on top of your ironing board. They are covered and a perfect size for ironing a completed quilt top. It is easy to just lift them off the ironing board and store when you are finished with it.

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing your brilliant.

I have a big Board too but no place to put it right now! I do love it too!

I use a regular ironing board that is in the other room.

I like the idea of making an ironing board to suit your own needs. I think even I could manage that one. Thanks for the idea.

I have one too, that I've had for years because I am tall it makes a good cutting table as well, it sits on top of my ironing board which is high position. I recently purchased a cutting table from Hancock's that is the right position for cutting so now I just the Big Board to iorn on.

I took an old metal typing table, bought some 3/8" plywood, had it cut to size I needed. I put a pressing pad, which I bought from Keepsake Quilting over it with staples. I bought heavy duty velcro and I velcroed it to the top of my typing table, which I can roll around and press on while I am seated. Also have a regular ironing board, which I use backwards. By that I mean, I put the pointed end to my right (I am right handed) and use the wide end to press on. Works for me!
