boy the ideas I find on here just keep getting more and more creative. I never would have thought of an 18 x 18 ironing board That be great for those of us that work in small sewing spaces....thanks board!!

It's a little iron for applique pressing, and made by "clover" and available at Joanne fabric. it's a very convenient tool and much easier to use on tiny pieces than a regular iron.

That is a really cool idea.

A small ironing board is so useful! I made mine from the cardboard inner of a fabric bale from a quilt shop. They just throw them away when the fabric is all sold. I cover it with an old blanket bit and then sew a jacket on it. I've recently recovered one and added a handle to carry it to workshops and also a sleeve down one side to carry my long rotary ruler.

Curious .... does it have enough "heat" to go thru the layers when you are paper piecing?

My hubby did an ironing board also for me. He put legs on the bottom so it fits on a wooden tv tray. I have this next to my machine and just love it. It's also the best for retreats.

A keeper for sure. Great idea.
