Thread: Pressing sheet

I use one called the applique pressing sheet. I also think they have one called the goddess sheet. You can buy either online. Joanns you can buy a teflon pressing sheet

I make my own that works great. I press two pieces of freezer paper wax sides together. I can't tell a difference from the expensive pressing sheets I've used. A guild member pressed freezer paper to thin white cotton and uses that for a pressing sheet. It's reversible for whatever she needs pressed, fusible to delicate applique.

Parchment paper here. Large box last for ever.

I read somewhere about cutting up old sheets and using those for pressing sheets/cloths. Anyone agree?

Iron on interfacing gunk will not stick to the parchment paper as it will to cloth. Keeps iron and ironing board gunk free. A sheet underneath and one on top shinny side up on bottom one and shinny side down on top one. Hope you get what I mean.

If you are looking for something to cover applique when pressing then applique pressing sheet (basically a plastic - like sheet) or parchment work great.

If you are looking for a pressing cloth (that is a cloth that you use to cover a fabric that would be marked if hit by an iron -- like wool -- if or you need to hit something with steam, then a white dish towel works great, usually a bit damp.
