Parchment paper
#1
I have been planning on buying a sheet of a teflon coated material, specifically made for quilters, for use with fusible web. I have been using the paper that the fusible web comes off of and it's getting kind of wrinkly, torn, etc.
Yesterday, I researched this and ended up with threads on this board, and one gal commented that those teflon coated sheets add a 'shininess' to the fabric, and she just uses parchemnt paper.
Ok, sounds good to me.
My question is, is this the same parchment paper they sell at Walmart used for babking, or is there another parchemnt paper that is used?

You tape the parchment paper to the bed of your machine. Punch a hole in it for the needle. It provides a slick surface to move the quilt around and over. The acyrilic extension tables have a bit of drag on them and the plastic of the machine throat may also have a drag. I sprayed Silicon spray on my acyrilic extension. I was told many years ago that if your machine throat area is metal then use auto wax spray. If plastic then use teflon spray to make them more slippery.
I couldn't find the teflon backing sheet so got the oven sheet. It works but has a bit of drag but less than the acyrlic.
