I am doing Athena's Puzzle which cannot be chained pieced
easily. I am trying to get all the blocks done by the next class, on Thursday, but not rush so much to get sloppy! So who cares if my place is dusty? I'll clean on Friday! |
i did what Maride did and i have it right by my table/sewing machine and it works great yesterday i brought a 4' folding table these fold in half to 2'by 2' which is in the furniture dept with the card tables bow i can also cut and iron without getting up. I am sewing in my bedroom now so that works out great for a small area.

I do have a little ironing board, now that I think of it. Finding out requires cleaning out one of those junk closets!
|
I have the little June Tailor board on the right side of my machine and then my upright ironong board just a few feet away alway's at the ready.
Of course last night my Rowenta iron finally gave up the ghost and I was finger pressing. To many pieces on this scrappy piece! NOTE: cat's like ironong boards and knocking over your iron. Too many times willl damage it. PUT iron away when not in use. |
try to find a little camper-sized ironing board. I found one at a garage sale and it's great.
|
At home I lower the ironing board to table level and pull it right up by my machine. In class I take one of those little 3 or 4" irons and a folded feed sack and have it right by my machine. But it's still a good idea to get up and move around at least once an hour, I just don't like taking the time when I'm really busy with something.
|
I purchased an ironing sheet/pad, very cheap, at JoAnn's and keep it next to the sewing machine. Works out great!!
|
I just move my ironing board along side my sewing cabinet at a right angle, then lower the ironing board to the same height as my cabinet. I have to use an extension cord for the iron, but that is no problem.

I have a table top ironing board from Walmart. small enough to be convenient and big enough to press whole blocks. And it protects my kitchen table.
