    Just don't do what I did with the teflon applique sheet -- I've got about ten slices in it from my rotary cutter. Sometimes I get carried away in my hurry to get to the next step........

    I use parchment paper from the grocery store. It works great.

    I often put down a scrap piece of muslin on my ironing board, and I iron the wonder-under

    I use a piece of muslin on the ironing board (just in case), but iron on the applique piece to a larger piece of fabric, then cut out the shape, and using a pressing cloth that is designated only for iron on appliques helps.

    What would we do without QB to enlighten us with great tips. Thanks for the parchment paper and freezer paper ideas. Hey and I rarely even us the Wonder Under stuff. Such great ideas from so many helpful people.

    Same here - I think mine is a vinyl-like sheet.
    I use parchment paper under or over the sticky pieces.

    pieces fused to the back of the fabric.

    Wonder Under pieces trimmed so less excess to stick to the fabric.
