Rid-Jid Ironing board

------------------------------------- does anyone know where you can buy Rid-Jid ironing board covers? I've had my board for 48 years and cannot find new covers now.

My 41 year old Rid-Jid board takes standard ironing board covers, available most anywhere ironing stuff is sold.

My ironing board is an extremely weird shape and no standard covers ever fit it. I have 6 or 8 things that look much like suspenders that I attach underneath the board to force the standard ones to fit. Actually the suspenders didn't fit either so I simply tied a knot in their length to take up the slack. You do what you've got to do. Polly

Have tried reengineering a larger standard cover to fit? I've done it for some of my boards in the passed. Good hunting.

If a standard ironing board cover doesn't fit you may need to make your own cover. For years my grandmother used older sheets, folded for sufficient thickness, layered over the original cover. She usually tied the folded sheet onto the board with string underneath the board. Debra in VA See my quilts at:

I found one to fit with pad at our local Dollar General store. I peeled 6 layers of covers and pads off my board today and put on the new one. I have used my board for the past 38 years and my late husband and his wife before me had used it for I don't know hoe many years.
