machine. Folds flat for storage and when the cover gets dirty
easy to pull off and redo.

Ummm. It's really healthier to get up and walk across the room to iron. Truely and PT will tell you you need to move and I keep my big board (DH MADE IT) across the room for this very reason. Otherwise we might get applique bottoms. LOL

Yes, my ironing board does go up and down, I keep it in another room for "big " jobs but like the small one beside the
machine for quick seams etc.Doesn't take up table room and folds flat to store. Also hve another sewing rm in
basement with an ironing bd there that is usually at machine
height.. Ok, the secret is out.. I have stuff everywhere! A friend
told me my house would look bigger is I didn't hve a sewing
machine in every room.

love all the info here. And I agree getting up and moving to iron is a healthy thing to do. But I was at a convention this week and talked to some immobilized women who said it was so hard for them to get their wheelchairs from the sewing machine to the ironing board as the board was too large to fit by their machine. So I shared your thoughts about the padded TV tray. They all said to tell you all Thank You So Much for making their lives easier and more productive. So kudos to all of you. Sharing is such a wonderful thing.
