over the plywood I put several layers of wool batting, then a wool

canvas but its a great idea. that's the pressing table. when I want to
cut I pull out a large cutting mat stored behind the cupboards, this
way the large surface does two things. I also raised my table up on
empty paint cans to be a better height for cutting and pressing.


Made something similar to cover the dining table for ironing yardage;
old wool bolt ends that had holes from where it was taken off the loom.
Several layers of that stitched together and covered with an old cotton
sheet. Cut to drape over the table on all sides so it doesn't slide
around.

Have a small ironing pad made from the silvery fabric bonded to foam.
It's OK for small pieces but has some inherent creases which just have
never ironed out LOL!
