Question that's been bugging me...

I have one of those too and it got really yucky so rather than get a new one I bought some plain white pillow cases and put it inside one and when it gets yucky I take it off and wash it and put anther clean on on. You can still see the lines on the pad and it keeps everything nice and neat.

i also have started pressing freezer paper right to my ironing board cover as a protective cover when i'm using alot of fusables---it is easy to peel off & toss when it becomes *yukky*

I have the Sullivan's hobby table that fits the 36" x 59" cutting board. Nancy's Notions sells a ironing cover for it. I use that and wash it when it needs it. But I do use the Elmer's glue method for doing bindings, so I use a muslin piece, folded over several times from my midarm practicing. When it gets so stiff that it could stand on it's own, I wash it, bleach and all. Surprisingly, bleaching doesn't seem to make a any difference on the thread.

The first quilt that I worked on I sprayed starch directly on the pieces on my ironing board. I ended up replacing the cover. Ever since then I have a small end table beside my iron board that I put a towel over. I spray the pieces on the towel now. If the pieces are longer like binding, I put the towel on the carpet to make a bigger area to spray. The towel is much easier to wash than my ironing board cover.
