Besides the parchment paper which works great as mentioned, the dollar stores carry an oven sheet. It is meant to put in the bottom of ovens to collect drips and spills which wipe right off. It works absolutely great as a craft glue sheet, applique sheet, etc. You can spend $2 or up depending on the size you get. I have two of the teflon sheets meant for applique and never use them anymore. They do not work nearly as good as these oven sheets. Any fusible wipes right off after use. Large grocery stores carry them in the section with kitchen ware also. And, places like Bed, Bath & Beyond. Hope this helps.

...maybe parchment paper? I've been using a thin gold colored applique pressing sheet from Clothilde's for YEARS! In the long run, if you can afford it, it's well worth it for any time you're using fusible... It's thin gold colored, not the white opaque one. You can see through it to place the parts of the applique.

It is very simple to press an applique with a turkish towel or washcloth. There is just enough nap there to not flatter it altogether. Have fun, but don't get your iron too hot.
