I buy organdy cloth by the yard and make my own. Works great.

I have a piece of cotton poplin that I have used for years. Works great.

hope you get this. i am new. dixdizzy. you can buy any silicone mat that is thin to put between iron and fabric and the thickness doesn't even matter if you need it under fabric. I've bought two silicone mats for twelve dollars in a grocery. good luck. its the same as Grandma Sue said.

You could buy one of those wonderful oven liners that are made of silicone MUCH cheaper.

Mary, if you google animated graphics you will find a ton of sites to see these types of graphics. You will need a code to use them on this forum and you can get that by going to www.tinypic.com, upload your graphic you downloaded onto your computer then get the code. Paste the code in here and you got it. Hope this helps

A teflon pressing cloth is worth every penny. I've had mine for a few years.

I was taught to always press applique this way and never have a problem. I always have a towel nearby.

Parchment paper sounds like a great idea. I have a teflon sheet, but it seems to almost melt when I use it. No, not really melt, but it does get awfully soft. Think I'll use parchment paper the next time. :P

I use my old linen tea towels since I no longer use them in the kitchen.

Can you make the instructions, to do this, a little clearer for us dufuses?
