    are you wanting a pressing cloth or a teflon sheet for (building) appliques? the teflon sheets are a bit expensive-but if you do alot of applique with fusables they are worth the money- as for a regular pressing cloth (piece of fabric you place over the item you are pressing to protect from the iron- avoid shiny spots- generally a piece of muslin is all you need- and if it gets starch built up or becomes grimy looking it can be tossed in the wash & reused- you do not need anything fancy or expensive to use as a pressing cloth-

    I use muslin for regular pressing and for pressing applique that has been embroidered I use terry cloth so that the stitches aren't flattened.
