The best for me is taking two pieces of freezer paper and ironing them together, wax side to wax side. I can make it any size I want. I keep a selection of sizes rolled up in a basket next to my ironing board.

Damp pressing cloth - a worn out cotton sheet that I've misted worked well
If you have any cotton organdy, that also works well. Mist it with water and wait a few seconds for it to absorb the water before pressing.

A little off the subject, but does everyone use 725 on fused bindings? I use 805 all the time, but I only fuse bindings on art quilts that don't get washed. Pellon 725 is awfully heavy for quilting cottons, isn't it? Doesn't the glue ooze through and stay hard and shiney?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I didn't have anything that you mentioned but I was able to grab the pressing cloth with a coupon from Joann's for under $3. However, I am definitely going to keep all of these suggestions in mind for the future. Thanks again.
