I have wool/cotton blend will that be alright? Can I share it with friends? I will say you gave it to us.[/quote]
I've only used cotton, I'm assuming that any natural fiber would be okay, but have never personally tried it. :)
You can share this with whomever you want, like I said it's not my original idea. Just passing along a great tip that was given to me. :)

Thanks for your great idea...I had thought of something similar but the idea of padding it sounds even better. I'm really tickled to see a guy who enjoys the wonderful fabric arts. Would love to see some of your work. Keep up the great hints.

A couple of months ago I was in the mood to make a board large enough to iron the width of fabric. I debated about going to the local home improvement store to get my board. Then I had one of those moments. (Light bulb) My husband inherited some very long covered bulletin boards from his old office. The ones they use in cubicls. I covered it with my leftover 100% cotton batting. Then I had some muslin and used that. I too leave mine on my ironing board all the time. I only use it for ironing my fabric. K 8-)

I wanted to say I'm also working on a Cheese & Crackers with 30's fabric :) Easy pattern...but it feels like it takes forever! I saw one hanging in our LQS that was brights on a black background...it was cute :)
Nice room! I'd sure like to have that much space :)
