Me too.  Or something like that.
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

I'm going to carry on using my wool mat. I have no room for any more "stuff" in my little sewing space.

I use a piece of chipboard from my watercolour painting days. It is 1cm thick and 14 x18 inches, covered with several layers of old flannelette sheeting.  Works perfectly  :)

Flippin' 'eck! You don't hang about! I've got as far as wondering where the stapler is!  :faints:
What size did you go for?

Oops - I seem to have started something (quite inadvertently). :facepalm:

@wrenkins - my pressing board is approx 15" square.

The board is 45cm x 30 cm - Took a FQ with a bit left over. I had to go for a size that didn't require cutting, fits nicely on kitchen work top, not to big but will take  12ins block :dance:

Speedy Beej  :faints:  I have one I made earlier but it doesn't take a 12.5" block. Very useful, though.

I enjoyed that!  Not least because everything worked and fitted straight away!   :thumbsup:
