    i have 3 or 4 mini ironing boards- i use them alot- i set one right beside my machine when i am working on an applique project- i use one when foundation piecing- or when making log-cabin/pineapple blocks- i take one to work with me once in awhile-
    i'd be lost without my mini ironing boards- so much easier than dealing with the big one once in a while- ;)

    Good find! I would love another one, especially at that price as mine is a built in. I use mine all the time for the bottom and side seams of pocketbooks. I occaisionally use it for sleeves too.

    I use my very little mostly doll clothes. It belonged to my DGM & it's collapsible and 2 different size boards.

    Mines reversible, too, with 2 different sizes but rigid.

    I don't use it all the time, but for quilting squares and small blocks it works well and can be taken to workshops.

    My DGD uses it the most for her dolly clothes while I sew. It's perfect size for her she's 3 y/o.

    I still use mine occasionally, mostly if I am pressing seams open, it helps to be able to spread it over the smaller surface.

    I have one around here somewhere. Maybe I'll dig it out if I make some doll clothes

    Don't have one and don't really see where I would use it if I did.

    I use mine all the time. It sits on the end of my ironing board. I do a lot of sewing and quilting of small projects. Great for pressing seams.

    What I don't understand is why it is useful for small items .... as opposed to a regular ironing board? What's the difference? (unless of course, you have sleeves or the turned corner of a tote, etc.)
