A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to glue down the last binding fold using the ironing board, but that is so clumsy. The quilt has to dangle onto chairs or the floor and it is very hard to handle.
I put my ironing board (folded) at the end of my queen size bed. The quilt went on the bed, and I turned it as needed. I glued a section as long as the ironing board, held it down while I ironed it, and went on to the next section. It went so fast, I didn't even have time to get a backache, which I am prone to do. So in effect, my ironing board was as big as my queen size bed. I loved it!
