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 recently bought a Big Board which is 60" x 22" - so a little smaller
than what you are making. It came with a heavy canvas cover and a layer
of thin (like 1/4") foam for between the board and the cover.

I bought, instead, a miracle cover which is made from that fire
retardant, slippery material. It also comes with a different kind of
foam for under the cover. Dunno if you can buy the stuff from them or
if they do custom sizes, but their web site is...
