pressing cloth

**grammy of 6** · 08-02-2012, 07:01 AM

I would like to get a pressing cloth before I start my new quilt. I looked in Joann's and they have 3 different kinds, all by the same company. One [the most expensive] is silk organza, the other 2 do not state what material they are. Please tell me what type of material and size I should get.
Thanks in advance.

I just use a piece of muslin.

Me too. Didn't know there were official pressing clothes.

I have always used just a piece of my own muslin, and or one of my husbands old 'clean' hankies....
However I will admit a nice teflon is worth its weight when doing applique work....

I like my Teflon pressing cloth by BoNash.

Same here... that's what my Mother always used & it worked like a charm for her, so I followed suite!

I also just use a piece of cotton cloth- I like using pillowcases, actually! The nice smooth cotton ones. Don't know why, but those just seem to work the best no matter what I'm doing.

I like my applique pressing sheet, don't know who it by but it has earned its keep over the years

I use a white twin flannel sheet I bought on clearance, cut into about 8 pieces that I rotate in and out of the laundry. If I'm working with anything fusible, I put parchment paper underneath, to protect the board, and on top, to protect my iron.
