I want to add one more item. teesquareit.com This will help to make sure all transfers are straight. I have a couple of these and plan to add 2 more soon when I expand. I have just found it works great to align up embroidery too. I can't talk this tool up enough. Good luck.. ...... JB

This thread found in the teflon search explains it pretty well: Teflon sheets: what are they used for and how?

Default Re: Required and Necessarry - Heat Press Accessories

I am wondering about the teflon pillows, if i press the front of the shirt with a transfer and want to press the back of the shirt can I slip the teflon pillow inside the shirt and press the transfer without any problems? Does the teflon pillow prevent heat transfer?

OK, so do the Teflon Pillows do the same thing as the Teflon sheets except maybe for thinker items to heatpress?

Still kinda unclear what and how a heat eraser is used for.

Are the heat presses 110v or 220v?
