    These work great for cutting paper. I find not so great for fabric. JMO

    I bought the 3-shelf, bright red, steel, rolling cart, (also comes in magenta, super cute in a sewing room) $49.99 and use it as my ironing board. We made a "big board" (silver ironing board fabric, wood, etc.). I love it because I can roll it out of the way AND there is storage underneath for ironing supplies, etc. Love it, love it.

    LindaOH...I love that idea...it came out looking really nice! Those little baskets on the bottom shelf are cute too.

    Where did you find the silver ironing board fabric? My DH made a top that fits tightly over 2 metal filing cabinets that I use for my ironing board, but I don't have the heat resistant fabric on it. I just have a towel on it for now.

    I've bought the blades at Harbour Freight too. They have worked wonderfully (when I finally decide to change the blade!)...

    Glad I looked back here...I need those little locking clamp pliers. Sometimes my fingers are just too big to hold little pieces under the needle!

    JoAnn Fabrics sells the ironing board fabric (silver).......you just have to ask where it's located..sometimes hard to find.
