Faith-manor Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 So ds's rescue cat came here for two days while he was out of town for work. I did not mind and wad happy to help UNTIL I came in from taking the dog for a walk to find she had sharpened her claws and simply shredded several places on it. It was a hairy, cat mess and will not survive a washing, plus it really did a number on the fiberfil. I am in the middle of working on 3 quilts for Christmas. 😭😭😭 I need to get a replacement and have exactly NO decent local shopping so I will be forced to order amazon, and have to wait for it to ship. I have made a make shift top with towels for spot ironing, and will keep at it. However, kitty ended up locked in the bathroom with her litter while I had the quilt tops out. Now she is sitting on Mark's lap because she tried going after the couch. She has a lot of anxiety and fear, poor thing. I am trying to be patient even though this is NOT what I needed right now. Does anyone know of a really high quality ironing board cover available on Amazon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Just don't buy one from IKEA. Their metric ironing board covers don't fit our imperial ironing boards. Found that out the hard way. I think the replacement cover on my board came from Target. I don't suppose you have one of those nearby, given the wording in your post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Idk about Amazon, but I found a pretty nice one at Walmart mid-pandemic. Maybe try there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I bought this one and like it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0758132LS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title It’s natural cotton over wool, eco-tek certified. It’s nice and thick. Measure your board carefully, sizing isn’t standardized in recovering. My 25 year old board dimensions were different.

ktgrok Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) They make wool ones that will fit on an ironing board - and having tried a wool pressing mat I will never not have one! If you have the money they make big ones that would fit an ironing board, or work on a big table. A big one is pricey though. This one is not on Amazon, but is designed for an ironing board https://love-sew.com/products/love-sew-wool-ironing-board-cover Edit - found it on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Love-Sew-Wool-Ironing-Quilters/dp/B09BDC8PQ4 Edited November 30, 2022 by ktgrok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put this on my Amazon wish list so maybe someone will get it for me for Christmas. If not, I think an after Christmas splurge may be in order. Thanks for the link! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the link! even a small one is awesome to have! I keep the small one right by my cutting mat, although I'm going to get a small folding table I think so I can put it next to me at the sewing machine when I'm quilting blocks that need a lot of pressing between sewing each seam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth86 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) I just came here to see who in the world is living a life where they could wear out an ironing board cover. 🤣 At the last hotel we stayed at my 4 year old was excited to see we had a surf board, so I’m gonna step out of the conversation now. 🤣 Edited November 30, 2022 by Elizabeth86 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't use it for clothing, lol. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
