pressing cloth
I would like to get a pressing cloth before I start my new quilt. I looked in Joann's and they have 3 different kinds, all by the same company. One [the most expensive] is silk organza, the other 2 do not state what material they are. Please tell me what type of material and size I should get.
Thanks in advance. |
I just use a piece of muslin.
|
Me too. Didn't know there were official pressing clothes.

I have always used just a piece of my own muslin, and or one of my husbands old 'clean' hankies....
However I will admit a nice teflon is worth its weight when doing applique work.... |
I like my Teflon pressing cloth by BoNash.
|
I just use a thin tea towel.
|
I also just use a piece of cotton cloth- I like using pillowcases, actually! The nice smooth cotton ones. Don't know why, but those just seem to work the best no matter what I'm doing.
|
I like my applique pressing sheet, don't know who it by but it has earned its keep over the years
|
I use a white twin flannel sheet I bought on clearance, cut into about 8 pieces that I rotate in and out of the laundry. If I'm working with anything fusible, I put parchment paper underneath, to protect the board, and on top, to protect my iron.
|
It depends on the job. I use my Teflon one when using fusibles. I use a damp face cloth for fusible that require steam and are a light colour that I don't want any iron transfer on them. I clean my iron regularly but if I press white blocks, there always a spot that turns up without a pressing cloth.
