Can't you just drill holes in the board? People have been using steam
generators for many years without special ironing boards.

Im making a large ironing surface (6'x2') to iron quilts on.
What fabric/material should I use and where can I buy material premade
specifically for iron boards or appropriate to use for an ironing board?

Any tips appreciated

Thank you!

I suppose you could but mine was 38 years old so I thought I would invest in
a new one and I really like the larger size.

Unbleached cotton duck, unbleached cotton drill, and canton
flannel are all good.

I put the good parts of a worn-out wool mattress pad under
my ironing-board cover; wool is resilient, and holds pins
well.
