I made me 2 ironing pads. I used cotton batting for the extra ironing cushion. With a piece of material on top, I can remove anytime. The 1st size, is 15" x 15". My sewing area, width is only 22" wide. A L shape area. Works fine for me. The other 1, I made is only 9" x 13. Works fine also. When my dog's are up in my sewing area, and I need to iron, I can grab the smaller 1.

I have a tv tray that I am needing to make into a pressing table. For most things, it should be large enough. When I do need a larger pressing area, I either use my ironing board, set up in another room, or a big board set on top of a table. It probably is a good idea to get up and stretch every once in a while rather than just sitting and moving from the ironing board to the pressing table without leaving the room.

Get a wooden folding TV tray (Walmart has them) and cover it with batting, piece of muslin, and the silver colored fabric (can't remember what it is called). Staple all of these layers to the bottom of the tray. Fold it up when not in use, take it on your quilting retreats!! Handy, and inexpensive.

I have one made with a tray table from WalMart also. I love it, its just the right size and its right next to me so no getting up and down. I used the batting that you use for potholders and two layers of fabric.

I have one mounted on the wall (though not this kind)
It's convenient because the board can swivel to where it's best. My husband made a 'big board' that fits over it for quilting
It can swivel up for storage, though it never is

The one I have came from Lowe's (or Home Depot?) and costs $79.
