Have a fabulous, restful, exciting summer, Deb! Looking forward to seeing you again in the fall!
Jane this is an old episode that I tapped last year. I am continuing with new episodes as normal this week.
Great timing! I told my husband the other day that I was going to use our old kitchen table for a pressing table rather than burn or throw it away - I can use it in my new sewing room! Thank you! :D xxx
Thanks Deb. Have a fun and productive summer!
Hi Lu, this is an old episode that I tapped last year. I am continuing with new episodes as normal this week.
@@DebTuckersStudio180Design Thanks for the heads up Deb. I so enjoy your informative videos.
Thank you! I've been needing one of those for traveling. Beautiful quilts.
Love those quilts and the colors used in them
Our church ladies meet Wednesday mornings from January thru March. The quilts that are made go to Ronald McDonald house,hospice,women shelter, & Lutheran world relief. It is a great feeling when they are sent off. From ne iowa
Hey 👋🏻 good morning from 🇨🇦 Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦 CHEERS ☕️
I used an inexpensive kitchen cutting board for mine.
I covered my large piece of wood with the biggest piece of Bo-Nash that I could buy. Very pleased with it!
Love love your rulers. They have helped me so much with my piecing.
Great idea! And GORGEOUS QUILTS! I just picked up another Studio180 Design ruler-tool at a LQS while I’m on vacation 👍🏼Enjoy your summer Deb!
Thanks Deb. Have a wonderful summer
Hi Brenda this is an old episode that I tapped last year. I am continuing with new episodes as normal this week.
Thank you Deb, I made a ironing surface like yours too. Love it… I need to replace the cloth do you replace the cotton batting each time you recover it? I never thought of making a travelling surface, I think I’ll do that too. I am a big fan of Tina Dillard and Pam Loggins, also. Can’t say enough good things about your CI and your rulers…. Have a great summer Deb.
I don't replace the batting each time. I only replace it if it is damaged but it usually last years.
Deb can you also put a piece of insulbrite on top of your 2nd piece of batting (and underneath the duck cloth) - like an ironing board - to make sure the heat goes through??????? LOVE LOVE your tips and tricks - have a great summer
If you want to use a piece of Insulbright I suggest only using one piece of batting and then the Insulbright. It will work as well as the batting.
Hello Deb, those quilts behind you are GORGEOUS!!! Are those available patterns of yours?!?!?! Would LOVE to get them! Thank you SO MUCH for your continuing teaching videos!. Love your tips and tricks. Great reminders and/or lessons. Love your rulers and tech sheets. Love your style!!! You are a very good teacher. Thank you, again, and Bless you and your family!!!
They are not. They are a round-robin that two of my Certified Instructors did with each other. They are just a great example of what you can do with the tools.
Our local Habitat Resource store often has cabinet doors. They are very inexpensive, and if you can find a smooth one, it also makes a good base for this project. I have a pneumatic stapler which is a big help for these. For those with wool pressing mats, trimming a base board to fit and covering would also be a good choice. Cotton canvas/duck makes a great covering choice. If you use a teflon pressing mat on top, you can extend the life of your covering, particularly if you use glue or starch.
Deb, please consider noting you lovely quilts in the back in the description so that your viewers can easily find your pattern.
Thanks for the great suggestions. The quilts in this video unfortunately don't have a pattern and so that is why they are not named or linked in the description. They were something fun that two of my certified instructors created as a round robin.
@@DebTuckersStudio180Design Understood. Well for us block detectives, we can use it for terrific inspiration.
Have a wonderful break. See you in the fall.
Hi Dale this is an old episode that I tapped last year. I am continuing with new episodes as normal this week.
I layer mine with aluminum foil first so the steam doesn’t destroy the wood. Mine is about 4feet by 10 feet in my basement sewing room.
I added foil to the surface of my old ironing board before adding batting and cover.

Can you please explain the difference between using your cutting board and a wool pressing pad. Do you get different results? Thank you!!
They both give great results and it all comes down to preference and availability. Not everyone can get a wool pressing mat and sometimes they aren't large enough for what you are working on. The wool pressing mat gives great flat seams with the heat it traps, but if you have a very bulky intersection it is hard to get it really flat as it will sink into the wool mat a bit as there is some give to the mat. With the homemade wooden pressing surface, you can make it any size that you need and it gives a really firm pressing surface that can allow you to get some intersections really flat. I have found what I prefer and you will as well.
@studio180Deb, what are thoughts on wool pressing surface?
I think they work well for smaller piecing and for seams that aren't really bulky. They get blocks pretty flat, but when you get into really bulky seams and intersections they don't do as well to flatten them as the harder pressing surface I feel. They are also expensive and not everyone can access them. I also like to press borders in as long a segment as I can and it is hard to find them longer. There is a place for them but I tend to not use them. Let me know if you have any other questions I can answer.
@@DebTuckersStudio180Design Thank you for your reply. :-)
