Telecast Thursday - Pressing Surfaces in the Chatterbox Quilts Studio
Last Thursday I showed you my favourite irons; this Telecast Thursday I'll show what I use with them: my pressing surfaces.
Like most quilters I started out using an ironing board to press my fabrics and this worked okay. Not great, but okay. Eventually I tired of putting up and taking down the ironing board every time I wanted to prepare my fabric. I wanted something large enough to spread out my fabric from selvage to selvage to press. Since I couldn't find anything on the market, I made my own board. And then made another one for travelling.
To see what I use as a pressing surface, watch the video below or on my YouTube channel.

Telecast Thursday - Irons in the Chatterbox Quilts Studio
It's hot in the studio today and it's not due to the temperature, it's due to the topic! This Telecast Thursday I'm discussing my favourite irons.
There are tons of choices when it comes to irons and you can spend $$$ to get "the right one". I've made do for years with a normal iron that you'd use to press clothes, but bought a more specialized one a few years ago.
To find out which Irons I like to use, you can watch the video below or on my YouTube channel.
