Frustrated with ironing my quilt any tips?
#1
I have a teeny tiny iron board and I am trying to just go over my whole quilt before I get it ready to be shipped out. i can not get it flat like i would like it to be. I am not sure what the heck to do. I need a bigger friggin table... any suggestion on what to do?

A layer of batting or terrycloth towels under the sheet would also help protect your table.
You can also buy the teflon fabric (shiny silver ironing board covering fabric) and lay it on the table, shiny side up. This will reflect the heat away from your table.

My table is 48 x 65 without the leaves and I have a heat protection pad for it. It's the best ironing board ever. If you plan to quilt a good bit, you might look into a pad for your table.

My appologies for jumping in on your conversation, but I'm suddenly confused with your comments on ironing your quilts.
I was told that you never iron a quilt, but obviously this isn't the case. Could I ask if the quilt looks better after ironing... any pros and cons. Do they 'fluff' back up at all?
Thank you
Joanne
