Parchment usually wears out. If you buy a true Applique Pressing Sheet, it will last forever. They come in several sizes and are more like a non-meltable plastic. When I make McKenna Ryan patterns, I use a Pressing Sheet. It will just save you a lot of grief. If you do very much applique, it is worth the money.

Thanks, sounds like the parchment will work, this is a new attempt for me so nice not to have to invest in a new thing if I don't like it. I am starting with the "No Trespassing" block from the "Calling me Home" quilt, but I plan to leave the moose out- Thanks again for all the info!

I love doing McKenna Ryan patterns! Which one are you doing? I do samples for my LQS and whenever she wants a McKenna Ryan sample done, she gives it to me to do. As for Parchment paper it works just fine. I use both a teflon sheet as well as the parchment. Whatever is handy

I haven't tried parchment paper, but Joanns sells a much cheaper pressing sheet and you can also use your coupon with it. It was like $7 or something. And you can see through it better than the expensive one. I know this because I have both!

I use parchment paper at times, it works well. My Teflon pressing sheet gets really hot, enough to burn my fingers. Parchment is cheap, probably purchase a roll of it, for less than one pressing sheet.
