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 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 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.
