Try the parchment paper. Often near the plastic wrap area to the grocery department.

Just use the parchment paper it works great recently I have found it here in our dollar stores.The excess glue cleans off by rubbing it off with your hands and it cools in no time!

Try Parchment paper

I've always used a large man's handkerchief - they are soft, and just the right size for most of what I want to iron.

I put the parchment under and on top of the applique pieces for good measure. It works great. It's rather inexpensive and I'm amazed at the difference it makes in baking cookies, too.

The release paper from the fusable works really well too :wink: :D:D:D

I cut the back out of a cotton shirt I no longer needed. It's tiger-striped so I get a chuckle every time I press.

I once bought one of those cheap metallic ironing sheets (22x44). It is a piece of metallic fabric, a layer of foamy stuff (!) underneath it, and a flimsy layer of something that started disintegrating right away.
What made that thing totally useless was the outer binding (some kind of binding anyway). It made the whole thing curl upward.

I took the metallic fabric, replaced the foam with cotton batting and used that to cover a small wooden ironing board (just a cut down from some underflooring).

The left-over metallic fabric is ideal for messy ironing jobs.

The ironing sheet only cost US $ 7.95 (amazon.com). So I got quite a bit of mileage out of it so far.

A quilt instructor once showed me to use two paper towels, one above and one below.....works perfectly and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Good luck.
