No suggestions here. I just use my regular ironing board. I even
purchased a table top but use my regular most.

Does any one know where you can buy one of those arms to hold your cord? my cord gets caught in the iron rest! I have looked all over the web.my joann does not have them. thanks.

I have a pair of base cabinets with a 24" X 60" door wrapped with batting and muslin for my ironing center. I originally wanted the Big Board, but decided the extra storage space was important - can'y store much with the crossed bars of an ironing board.

I use a craft table, I made a pad for it out of muslin and that batting or something that has the reflector stuff on the back, like for potholders. I have bed raisers that I use when ironing and take them off when sewing or cutting. It also duobles as my grooming table for the dogs.

Clotilde.com has a cordminder. Or google "iron cord minder".

Mine is like Scissor Queen's. I bought an old dresser at a yard sale for $5.00 and put risers and a huge board on top. Gives me a large ironing surface and lots of extra storage.

I have a free standing board to use when pressing yardage and a smaller one that I place on the table to use when pressing individual blocks.
