Iron board?

They make little table top ironing boards. I use mine on my coffee table while watching TV for small things. You can use a small piece of plywood covered with heavy canvas as a make shift ironing surface.

do you have to cover with a certain type of fabric for safe ironing and some batting under it?

Here are several options for you to choose from!
