I've been needing to make my ironing board a new cover for a while (been through two store bought that didn't even fit properly since Christmas) but didn't know how to go about it. You've showed me to (and how not to) all in one post!<br /><br />If it hasn't been sorted yet have you tried threading a thinner thread through the casing first, tying this to the cord and then pulling it through?Catrin Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10390088482382200616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212879416900607240.post-72947380834397653662013-06-05T22:36:18.135+01:002013-06-05T22:36:18.135+01:00Guess you have threaded it already, I am slacking,...Guess you have threaded it already, I am slacking, sorry xxxMrs Flying Blind...https://www.blogger.com/profile/15064004823351464643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212879416900607240.post-24461714449454065552013-06-05T21:14:34.208+01:002013-06-05T21:14:34.208+01:00I am glad others knew the name of the thingymajig ...I am glad others knew the name of the thingymajig I was going to tell you to use!!Canadian Abroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13358781396739230934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212879416900607240.post-15540031790517848752013-06-05T11:07:28.929+01:002013-06-05T11:07:28.929+01:00Hi Judith!

I saw that some covers in the super market has very thin 'plastic rope'.

You know, the way you do Pyjama waists, sewing the two raw ends together and then sewing the elastic on stretching it as you go? <br /><br />they are really pretty, and will cheer you every time you use them!<br /><br />Oh, and another ( stupid ) thought... You do not need the insul-brite, as you do not have a surface needing protection- so the wadding is probably better, unless the insul-brite would reflect the heat back? mammafairyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970531305586032149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5212879416900607240.post-63557518779722912542013-06-04T17:57:12.277+01:002013-06-04T17:57:12.277+01:00Nice recovering job.
