If in the future you get a new ironing board that is wider than your current board, the ribs will likely need to be moved out.
When ordering, please specify the maximum width of your ironing board. The Roomy Board is customized to meet the width of your ironing board. The fabrics themselves are a basic Cotton Duck, Heavy Duty Gridded fabric, and Silver ironing board fabric that won't shrink. This is done to keep anything from migrating into the fabrics that you are pressing on the board. I have not added any sprays to the fabric on the Roomy Board. The top is 48" long, and the width is 22" or 24" depending on the width of your ironing board. The ribs keep the board stiff and hug the sides of the ironing board. On the bottom, two ribs run parallel to the edges. A sturdy piece of plywood covered with batting and fabric. And everyone can use a little more table space.Ī Roomy Board is simplicity itself. And, the firmer surface helps keep pieces from stretching when pressed. The large workspace simplifies composing and ironing multiple blocks without having to run back and forth to a table. The squared off edges of the Roomy Board makes it ideal for ironing yardage, freshly pieced blocks, and much more. And put aside another $90 for the correct size cutting mat to complete the ensemble.Ĭlick here for more information about the Sullivans Adjustable Home Hobby Table.The Roomy Board is a topper for your ironing board that turns it into an excellent tool for quilters and home dec sewers. Next time you remodel your sewing room, be sure to budget for the Sullivans Home Hobby Table and the Gridded Cloth Mat. But that’s not a bad price for a piece of furniture, especially such a useful one. And then there’s the price.Īt under $150 for the table and and $35 for the ironing cover, not everyone can dash out to buy this setup. You have to remember you can’t cut on the ironing cover. There are only a few drawbacks to this cutting/ironing system.
After smoothing out all the wrinkles and placing it on the board, I pulled on the cinch cords located on opposite corners and secured them in place with the attached cord ties. The cover and pad are one piece, making it easy to put on the table. Use an iron with a Teflon soleplate so the lines won’t come off on the iron bottom. The lines are there to help you when you’re blocking your pieces for accuracy. The cover has 1″ grid lines and lines for 30, 45, 60 and 90 degree angles. The large surface means that I can iron more fabric at a time, cutting my ironing time and making the fabric easier to handle. Since I’m starting on a queen-size quilt, I have several large pieces of fabric to iron. I bought a Gridded Cloth Mat, turning my cutting table into a huge ironing board - great for ironing yardage! I was able to cut my ironing time down by at least half. This week, I added an accessory for the cutting table that makes it even more useful. Since the table’s height isn’t adjustable, be sure to measure 36″ from the floor to see if it is the right height for you. But it’s too high for my friend Marie, who is not as tall as I am. For me, at 5′ 5″, the 36″ height is a good height for rotary cutting. The one critical measurement of the table is the height.
#GRIDDED IRONING BOARD COVER FULL SIZE#
Yet it pulls out and sets up to full size in less than 30 seconds. With both leaves folded down, the table is only 14″ wide, making it small enough to push out of the way. So I’m using a few mats of different sizes on the table to give me lots of flexibility for cutting. This table has plenty of room to work for most crafting projects, but is not quite big enough for my largest Olfa Cutting Mat, which measures 23″ by 70″. With the leaves open, the tabletop measures 36″ by 60″. When lifted, the two folding leaves are held up by gate-legs that swing out from under the table. When folded down, the leaves save a ton of space in your sewing room. The casters are a great feature, but folding leaves are what I love the most.
#GRIDDED IRONING BOARD COVER PORTABLE#
The best feature of this table is portable it is. Two of the casters lock to keep the table from running away while you are making precision cuts.
I found this feature very nice in my small sewing room that’s packed with too much stuff. The Sullivans Home Hobby Table has a white laminated top and black metal legs with six casters, making it very easy to move. My sewing room is running out of space so it couldn’t have come at a better time too! To my delight, I’ve found it to be the most useful item in my studio. I have a new favorite product this week! Through a trade with my friend, I acquired a folding sewing and craft table that I wanted to use primarily for rotary cutting.
