Have you considered getting a Big Board for your sister?? It is a
flat rectangular covered board that sits on your regular ironing board
(it has a railing on the underside so that it doesn't shift around)
and lets you iron 1/2 yard of fabric at a time. You can find them in
the larger quilt shops or by doing a google search for "big board" and
"quilting". I think they run ~$120.

I made a big board clone for myself using a 2x5 piece of wood and
covering it with batting and a cover, and I don't know how I did
without it.

Just a thought....

I bet yours costed a fraction of the one sold in stores.
