and it drove me nuts--so I ripped the padding out. It felt like the pressing was distorting the squares. I bought the cheapest cover because I liked that it was solid blue, :roll: but the foam padding was not helpful. I never would have anticipated this problem.
Now I'm ironing with just two covers on the board--and it's almost too hard. But it's better than too soft! :|
Anyone want to suggest the best padding? Maybe I should cut a piece of Warm & Natural for a pad?

sharon schambers pressing board - if you can stand the music.
she says exactly the same thing you're saying, that you need a firm pressing surface. these are her instructions.

Thanks for the information--and it's good to know I'm not nuts. :lol: I found this link from one of the other links--and there's no music. :-D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LGbXou_u4c
Oh--it's the same link as above--the music is only in the beginning. :wink:
