Guides that go with Ironing Boards

Frequently asked

Do I need a full-size ironing board for sewing?
No. A tabletop board or a pressing mat beside the machine covers most seams, and it gets used because it is already there. A full-size board earns its place once you are pressing yardage, long curtains or a whole quilt top.
What is a pressing board?
A small, firm, padded surface for pressing seams rather than whole garments: a tabletop ironing board, a wool pressing mat or a home-made board of plywood and batting. Many people who sew prefer a firmer surface for seams because it presses them flatter than a soft full-size board.
What size is a standard ironing board?
There is no single standard. The full-size boards on this page list pressing surfaces of about 43 by 13 inches, and the tabletop pick is closer to 17 by 13; each pick's own page gives the seller's dimensions. Measure the spot it will stand in before you buy.
What height should an ironing board be?
Roughly hip height when you stand, so your arm stays straight and the weight of the iron does the pressing rather than your shoulder. That is why an adjustable board matters more than a big one, and two of the full-size picks here list adjustable heights.
