Well, from what the reviews say, I wouldn't even buy it for ironing shirts. As for quilting, how would a flip ironing board be used with pressing a quilt? So, I think you should not walk but run from purchasing this ironing board for quilting. I am still not happy with my ironing surfaces for my quilting. Still trying out different set ups. Good luck and please share what you finally come up with.

Buy a sturdy ironing board and then go to Home Depot and have them cut you a piece of plyboard and 2ft by 4ft and make you a big ironing surface. Their are instructions all over the internet. I love mine.

I don't have that and I have never heard of it. I bought a Martha Stewart board at K-marts a long time ago (it is pretty wide) and I love it.

I still have the board that was given to me as a wedding present...42 years ago. I needed more space for quilting though, and bought a pattern for a "topper" from Clotide. My son put it together for me. I love it. It was cotton batting for cushioning, and a old sheet as a cover stapled to it. When it gets damp you can smell the wood beneath it. It is a wonderful, energing scent.

You might want to read the replies to other owners. None of them were good.

that thing looks dangerous.

I did something similar to that, and love it. On the other side, I glued a cutting board (self healing mat) and have this board on an organizer that I built which holds my rulers, magazines, books, and other sundries. This is the only way that I found that I can iron the fabric without having to do it twice, and on a bit of an angle!

I bought a new ironing board when K-Mart when out of business here years ago. I have never taken the plastic off of it. When I have something that needs ironing I put it in a donation pile. Seriously, all I need and use is a table top board.

it looks great. i splurged and bought a 2ft X 3ft and a 2ft X 2ft plywood, precut at lowe's. both cost under 9$. covered with old blanket and muslin and love these to press quilts. you do not want to press on a spongy or soft surface. these are placed behind the door when not in use. my sewing room is quite small but i can pull either of these out and set on cutting table or where needed and they are the perfect pressing surface.
