I make mine out of cotton duck. My favorite board is a simple wood rectangle, so I simply staple a new layer of duck onto the back. Then I spritz it with water, and it shrinks drum-tight onto the board. Love that cotton duck - it really grips the fabrics so they don't slip. I hate that silvery stuff.

That is the table I bought that I want to make a cover for. I can't leave the sides up. Between the cats, space and my Rambo toddler daughter I have to have the sides down while I'm not standing at it. Lol. But man I LOVE that table. It makes cutting and ironing wayyyy easier. Eventually I'm buying a 2nd one and df will make the sides stay up permanently and toddler Rambo safe lol.

I do the same .. use towels on my ironing surface... it makes it very easy to toss in the wash... I use binder clips to hold it in place. The plus of using a towel is it helps hold items in position when pressing, or ironing.
