I sew, and when you press you have to use a pretty strong downward pressure. Can this ironing board handle a strong downward push?

I having been using the ironing board for over the year, I also sew and have had no trouble. One time I had to tighten the swivel knob under the board, which was not a problem. I love having this aboard so handy. The only complaint I have is that it is really hard to iron tablecloths due to size constraints, but not much of a complaint. Enjoy and happy sewing.

I am not sure how much pressure is pretty strong, but the board has a thick wooden base attached to metal. Seems sturdy to me.

I also sew - the board bends a bit. I'd be reluctant to apply too much pressure. I use my regular board that is set up in my sewing room.

It's as sturdy as a regular ironing board or stronger. It is anchored in the wall and the the board is inset in groves

I would say yes but I would iron closer to the wall. That's where the bottom support bar is. I love it.

You have to hold down the button. As an iron it is great. We use it in a phot studio for geting clothes ready for photograhy. They last forever

Probably, as long as it was put together properly. If you are pushing down you should be fine, however if you are pushing horizontally there is some give on my table no matter how much I tighten the screws. (I keep the leaf dropped and use this table to fold laundry on, maybe if the leaf is up it's sturdier?)

I love this iron. It is because it is a very easy glide and that you do no lifting that I like it. Automatic touch lowers and raises it. In my opinion it would be a good idea for you. It would be more the correct height for your ironing that would be more the problem.

Yes, and its heavier and sturdier than the flimsy ones you find in the local stores. Very well made. I'm picky and I think this ironing board was worth every penny.

Don't think so. Lots of falling, etc makes it a bit dangerous. Btw, mine got a massive rip along the seam. While I like to sew, I'm a bit annoyed as it was pretty expensive. Good luck

I have never had a problem with my ironing board rocking. It sits on a tile floor. If it were to sit on carpet, I am sure it, like any other ironing board would rock. I love mine and it gets lots of use.

I was ready to buy the Rowenta Advancer, but based on your review I am rethinking this model. Do you have any suggestions for a another brand or model iron? I own a DZ1700 which doesn't get hot enough to press linen. I just want a good heavy high-wattage iron with a pointy tip for pressing the tight spots.

I use it to iron my slacks without any problems. I love not having to put up my ironing board. Phyl A.

Yes, the material is soft enough to punch holes in the fabric. I actually uses pin to hold it tight first. I have not tried ironing though.

No, it moves very slightly, although I do have an extra large iron, therefore if it is small it may move more. It is very sturdy and I am very pleased with it.

it probably can but it won't hold as well because it is a lighter weight and will break. I would not use it for regular sewing.

I'm a quilter and love it! Not to worry, it's not too much steam. And you can adjust it if you want, although I always use it full strength. Just remember (as with any iron) to press, not iron, your blocks open.

I don't think so. It takes concerted pressure to push the button down about an inch

I have to put heavy constant pressure as well but no issues yet... Putting it on a lower surface will give you leverage

Because of the location of the linen shelf when board is closed, I don't think it will work. The hooks on the iron holder has no way to connect with the rounded end of your ironing board
