Blocking boards

[sewmuchmore]

Any recommendations? I have seen wooden ones with dowels and foam ones with long pins. I have never used one before but i have 160 shell shapes to block and from what i have seen you can do multiples on these boards, but not sure which will be best.

  I was about to say that you don't need to actually block any of our boards, you can just ignore them...

I've got a cheap set of interlocking children's foam play mats.  You need to check the thickness because many are very thin.  I think mine are 12 or 15ml (I can't measure them because they're currently packed away).   I use T pins.  Works for me and the blocking mat can be whatever size I want.

I have these too, they’re very good and once you’re finished you can separate them and store them away easily in a pile. Easy to find on EBay.

I use kids floor mats too...

I have a thickish yoga mat, I have to weight the sides down but it’s very good for scarves etc.
