yes, that is next if this one stops working well. I used to have so many table cloths but gave them all away.

So... I actually went into the JoAnn's in town near me, and I was able to buy 2 yards of 72" felt for a few cents over $8
No crooked business practices in my case.
This JoAnn's had several different kinds of felt available. The 100% wool felt was about $30/yd The wool blend felts were less than that.
The utility felt I bought wasn't the fancy stuff.. and it was exactly as advertised.

Also, I learned to delete the cookies on my computer after visiting some web sites (especially travel sites) before going back so that the price jump doesn't happen.

I just use a piece of white fleece, it's nice that it comes about 60" wide

We used thin cotton batting, which I glued to Lauan panels and screwed to the sewing room wall. Lots of extra time and about $40 in materials, plus the batting (Trista buys the sewing stuff, idk what they cost). but truly worth it for us, to have a reliable and permanent design space big enough to lay out and play with up to queen size quilts. Trista's been learning color/tone/temperature/shape theory, has started teaching me, and we both find the ease of rearranging plus the stability to leave it up for days to be a winning combo. I love walking into the sewing room and seeing the latest designs in progress; and my own invariably take days of walking off to see it fresh another time

I have 5/8th inch insulation board from Home Depot. It is attached and covers one entire wall. It is covered with white flannel. After 12 years it does need a new flannel covering but I LOVE it! Can't imagine not having one!
