If it is a pressing sheet for going over the top of appliqué when you iron it down, could you use tin foil? I would try a sample first before trying it on my actual appliqué. I usually just iron my fusible appliqué down to the background without anything on top.
Yes Tartan, it is the teflon pressing sheet. I thought I read that there is something else that works. Seems like it may have been parchment paper? Anyone have any experence wht that?
