A Teflon pressing mat (often called an appliqué mat or non-stick pressing sheet) is really useful for appliqué work because of these benefits:

• Non-stick surface – Fusible web, such as Bondaweb and Heat ‘n Bond, won’t stick to it, so you don’t risk gumming up your iron or damaging your ironing board.

• See-through – The pressing mat is mostly transparent, so you can place your design underneath and build your appliqué pieces right on top, ensuring accurate placement.

• Heat resistance – The mat can withstand high heat from your iron, letting you fuse layers together safely.

• Reusable surface – You can pre-assemble small appliqué units directly on the mat, then peel them off in one piece and transfer them to your project.

• Protects your fabric – Prevents scorch marks, shiny spots, or adhesive residue on the right side of your fabric.

It’s basically a handy tool that keeps things neat, accurate, and stress-free when working with fusible appliqué.

🌟 Using a Teflon Pressing Mat for Appliqué

1. Prepare Your Appliqué Pieces

• Trace your appliqué shapes onto fusible web (e.g., Bondaweb, HeatnBond).

• Cut them out roughly, fuse to the wrong side of your chosen fabrics, then cut out neatly on the drawn line.

2. Place the Design Underneath

• Lay your paper pattern or layout guide under the Teflon mat.

• Because the mat is see-through, you’ll be able to see exactly where each piece belongs.

3. Build Your Appliqué on the Mat

• Position the fabric pieces (fusible side down) directly on top of the mat, lining them up with the design underneath.

• Overlap slightly where needed—this helps create one solid unit.

4. Fuse the Pieces Together

• Gently press with a hot iron (no steam).

• The fusible web will stick the pieces together, but not to the mat.

5. Peel Off the Whole Appliqué

• Once cool, carefully peel the entire appliqué design off the Teflon mat in one piece.

• It should hold together as a single unit.

6. Transfer to Your Background Fabric

• Place the assembled appliqué on your cushion panel, quilt block, or chosen background.

• Press again with the iron to fuse it in place.

7. Stitch and Finish

• Secure the edges with your chosen stitch: satin, zigzag, blanket, or even free-motion quilting.

• Continue with quilting, binding, or finishing steps for your project.

✨ Extra Tip: If you’re working with layered shapes (like ears over an elephant’s head), the Teflon mat makes it easy to pre-assemble those tricky sections before adding them to the main project.
