Another Cutting board question
Over Labor Day weekend, I was able to find the Martelli cutting mat on sale at 50% off, so I indulged and got the largest they had (which I think is 30 x 60). Their promo material indicates you can iron on it..in fact they recommend you do so, as it keeps it flat. I wrote an e mail to the company asking if I could use it as an ironing board on a regular basis...they referred me to their video which advertises that it can be ironed on with no problem...just have a piece of material that you are ironing on, do not iron directly on the mat because it will melt. (But they will not put it in writing, which I find interesting.)
I very much want to use this as my primary cutting/ironing station. Oh how convenient it will be!!! But before i do this, I want to know if anyone out there has also done this with success. Please chime in and tell me your ironing experiences on your Martelli mat!
Thanks!!!

I bought one of the Martello tables at a local quilt festival. They said you can iron on the board with cloth underneath but to get the optional iron board top for routine frequent ironing. The thing I didn't like about the cutting mat is it dulled my cutting blades. I had to go and get an Olfa cutting board to replace it. I did buy the ironing board top and use it occasionally.
