Ironing Board Covers

I've read a lot about using a pad and/or a cloth on your ironing board, in addition to the cover that is already there, especially when using starch. I believe this is a good idea. My old cover wore out after 2 weeks of starching quilting strips.

I just purchased a new cover and already it looks like this (and this is after a thorough washing):

So my question is, what do you use to cover your board when you starch so you don't have to replace the cover every few weeks?
