I never thought to make mine into a permanent pressing table. I have one right next to my machine with a non-skid mat and my reversible cutting and pressing board on top of it. It works great for pressing seams. I can still take my mat to classes.

Great idea, I showed it to my DH and even he thought it was a great idea. I have to have one and will tell my sister and DD and everyone else about it, would save so many trips to the ironing board, which I don't have room for in here.

I had my husband make me one of these several years ago, i had seen one at a quilt show one time, and thought i know he could make one for me, just like this. I just love it, i use it all the time, i keep it next to sewing machine, It is so much easier pressing blocks, you dont have to get up and down up and down. Just turn your chair and press. Periodically i have to change the top,thats real easy to do.

I purchased a plastic table at Wal-Mart, covered it with warn & natural then purchased one of the smaller ironing board covers. This ironing board cover that I purchase was square and if memory serves me well I got that from JoAnns. I then worked and sewed until this ironing board cover fit that table. I have it sitting next to my sewing machine and I just love it.
I also have a small Rowenta Iron I got from Hancocks to stay at my ironing board.
