In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
When you’re quilting, an ironing board can make all the difference. Not only do you flatten out the different pieces of fabric to make sure that it will all line up, but you also iron the piece when it’s entirely done. We’ve put together this list of the best quilting ironing boards on the market so you don’t have to look high and low for one. Here are some things you should know.
Type: Ironing boards come in all different shapes and sizes. The standing iron is the most iconic and what you’d expect. There is also a tabletop ironing board that is smaller and you can tuck away when you’re finished.
Removable Cover: The cover being removable allows it to be changed, and it also allows you to take it off if you need a flatter surface for your quilt. Sometimes, that’s all you need to finish the perfect quilt.
Iron Rest: The iron rest will be on the largest side of the board, typically. This gives you spot that is not covered by cloth where you can put the iron down without fear of scorching your cover. It’s incredibly useful.
Cover Materials: What is the cover made of? For the most part, these covers are made of a soft, taut cotton that makes it easier to transmit heat. Some are made of polyester blends, but this is a personal preference thing.
Dimensions: This tells you how big the ironing board is when it’s up. If you’re in a small space, you’re going to need to know this information. It’s useful for figuring out where you’re going to put it when it’s folded.
Warranty: The warranty will tell you how much a company believes in their product. Longer warranties don’t always mean better products, though. If it falls within the time period, you can get a replacement at no charge.
Now that you know all of this information, we can get to the list of quilting ironing boards. We’ve done all of our research and review to bring you this list. The top pick and budget pick are our highlights, and you should check those out first. The rest of our list has no wrinkles, and the rest of the boards are definitely worth a look. Your new wrinkle-free experience is just around the corner!
