Teflon pressing sheets are paper thin fiberglass fabric mesh sheets coated with a thin layer of teflon on both sides. The sheets are non porous and non stick, so you can use them with a range of craft materials and fusible materials yet clean them easily. The mesh on the fabric is fine enough to allow you to see under or through the sheet to view how fabrics or other materials are aligned, and the teflon coating gives you a non stick surface to iron on, as well as to press on any fusible fibers and fabrics you may be using for your project.
Coated with Teflon on both sides, the sheets can be used with regular or non stick irons or heat guns, to allow pressing, heating or melting of items which can easily be removed from the teflon surface once they have cooled. A cheaper alternative, but one which needs more frequent replacement, is to use non stick baking parchment sheets when you are melting or fusing veneers and heat shrink films.
