It’s a pleasure to be able to answer your question.

Because both silicon and Teflon are chemically treated fabrics and we won’t ask our sewers, who already have a disability, to further endanger their health by inhaling the toxic shards that both silicon and Teflon shave off when over locking.

We use a sturdy cotton drill because it’s not only our preference. But we discovered our customers prefer a natural fabric. And cotton drill has a diagonal weave, which means it’s a much stronger fabric than cottons with just a cross weave.

I have professional ironers who are getting more wear out of their Fitz Like A Glove Ironing Board Cover in cotton drill than their Teflon covers. And because Teflon pits as it ages, and it snags garments, they don’t risk damaging a client’s clothing.

The fabric you iron on is very much a personal choice, Lucille. We simply made a commitment to go natural. And stay natural.

I hope I was able to answer your question as you wish. If not, please ask again. I love being of help.

Best wishes,

Carol
