I have a Mary Proctor double flip. Got it at a garage sale for $3. Had to pay $35 for the cover ;-) Has the outlet and cord holder and with both extensions flipped up, is a bit smaller than the big board, but it's rectangular. I also have a table top board.

I have a TV tray that sits next to my sewing machine that is covered with batting, thinsulate and the suilver ironing board cover fabric. Just staple to the bottom of the folding TV tray and you have a portable ironing table that is perfect to use while piecing.

I made mine from a scrap board 24 by48, covered it with foil, a scrap of old cotton mattress pad and an old sheet. It fits on the end of my cutting table and stores behind it when I'm done. I like having it right there when cutting blocks and strips.

I made an ironing mat to fit the top of my drafting table I use to cut and iron

Great idea! I think I'll borrow it. Thanks for sharing.

I have several ironing stations...
I have a regular ironing board that is older and I love it because it can be lowered for when I am sitting down to iron while watching a movie.

I have my big area in the sewing room and I have a covered board by my machine.

I also have 2 smaller boards I made for taking to classes/retreats!

I made a big board to go on top of my regular ironing board. Just a piece of OSB plywood (7/16", I think?) cut 22 X 60 at Lowe's, covered with one layer of all-cotton batting and a scrap piece of very heavy canvas.

It cost about $10 to make and boy do I love it! I can press full widths of fabric or huge sections of quilt tops in one shot.

I need to take the canvas off and wash it and while it's off, I'm going to apply velcro to it so that I don't have to deal with the staples every time it needs washing. I'm also going to make a couple of pillowcase-type covers for it.

I bought some ironing board cover fabric. Laid a folded $2 ikea flat sheet on my card table, draped the cover fabric over and use that. One of these days I might attach it officially to the table but for now it is working fine. I sit to iron.

I just have a regular wide ironing board plus a small table top ironing board. I like to use the small one when I iron out the blocks before sewing them together.
