Received the Better Board and I LOVE IT! I don't have room in my sewing room for both a cutting table and an ironing board. This board sits on my cutting table and all I have to do is remove the mat when I want to iron and put it back on when I need to cut. The best of both worlds!
Webster58Don't see it being offered right now. But keep watching they might bring it back!

Update: with a lot of stretching, pulling on each end with help from a friend, I finally got the cotton cover back into a usable position. While it was still slightly damp, I ironed it dry while stretching it lengthwise. The corners are on and the ends are finally reaching slightly over the edge. It is not popping off so I am happy to have gotten it back into a usable position. I think to keep from having to wash it in the future I might put a protective piece over it in case of soiling from the iron, then I just have the protective piece to wash instead of the entire cover again. I am really happy with the board and would definitely buy it again, I just would warn others to be very careful with washing the cotton cover and be aware of potential shrinkage. Original post: Have had mine about a month now and still love the board . However, my cover became stained from my iron so I washed it in cold water, and hung it to dry to minimize possible shrinkage . It shrank almost 4-5 inches in length! I re-soaked the cover in cold water again and while wet stretched it over the boards's corners but it still is not reaching the edges on either end. If I can't stretch it out, it is no longer usable, which is a huge disappointment.
So glad I bought this! I have been using this for the past 2 weeks 1) to iron 8 different fabrics from which i cut (with help of the new mat) 200 6" squares for a quilt swap 2) to cut 160 rectangles for a "brick" ispy quilt and 3) to trim the finished quilt top and backing and border and batting. The height is adjustable (unlike my dining room table) so much easier on my back.
Anyone using more than the provided batting under the cover to protect the board from heat?

MopncI'm using just what came with the package. So far I can't tell there will be a problem. I wonder if a layer of insulbrite might work? Thinking of the inner layer for heat reflection.
Jamie1814Thanks for posting this link, I just ordered on the current drop and i have downloaded the instructions so I'll have them when I get the Better Board
I purchased this the last time this was available. So happy with it! Makes dealing with huge chunks of quilt backings, large quilt tops and even curtains a breeze to press.
The board itself is very stable... The wider the stance of your ironing board legs the better...

I just purchased the BetterBoard and it arrived this week. I am so very happy with it. The board fits snugly on my older ironing board and is perfect not only for ironing widths of fabric and quilt tops/backings, but with the optional cutting mat makes for a large work surface. My only criticism is that the pad is quite thin. I plan on adding extra heat resistant batting as there is some extra room in the cover to allow this.

I added a piece of insulbright for two reasons--a bit of heat reflection and I thought it might help protect the laminate as I iron with my heat setting extremely hot.
