I simply stretched that silver thermo stuff over my accordion fold old
cardboard cutting board. I held it in place with duct tape on the back. Not
something you'd want to use for serious longtime ironing but it is just
wonderful to slide it on the cutting table and steam a stadium-size batt or
whatever. I think that cardboard tool came from Hancocks for about $1. It
folds up and hides really well. Polly

for that big size board do you need to have holes in the board for any
dampness to steam away from the ironing?
just a thot tho, would also need good batting over those holes so theres
no
dents in your ironed fabric when its finished, eh.
or maybe using the silver thermo fabric that one uses for hotpads would
work
instead.
getting enough batting without being so padded that you dont get nice
crisp
creases is a bit tricky too, lol. oh dear, you can see i'm not all that
sure

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!
