I'm about to make one of these boards, too. In fact, I am considering making a small one to put beside my machine and a large one that can be used for large pieces or entire quilt tops. It makes sense to me that it is easy to distort when the pressing surface is too soft. I am doing a better job of pressing now and I can tell the difference.
:D :-D :-D :-D
