I have the Steady Betty but someone posts about it being too expensive. This is an alternative another poster found that is cheap. You are right about being careful, but if it is sold as heat proof table top fabric then for myself I'm not that concerned about it being heated with an iron.

She said it would hold my fabric in place and prevent the stretching. She said they weren't cheap but were well worth the money. She was right. I could immediately see the difference in the fabric pressed before Steady Betty and that pressed after. My only regret is that I didn't buy the bigger size.
What a great site to find things

I did some google searching and the foam back table liner fabric is heat resistant to 550º. Some sites describe it as heat proof up to 500º. I didn't know the Steady Betty made many more products. There is The Betty Ruler, The Pedal Betty, and now you can buy the ironing board cover made from Steady Betty fabric! Not expensive as I thought it would be, so no wasted time looking for the yardage of the other. :-D
