From any place that carries heat press supplies. I get mine from either The Paper Ranch or Conde.

The foil has a backing on it, so you don't really need anything.

The foil that I used would kind of curl up on the edges from being on the roll, so the teflon helped to hold it down in place and stay smooth.

Yeah, that makes sense. And a teflon sheet is generally useful to have if you're using the heat press for much - I wouldn't want to discourage people from having one. They're just not strictly speaking necessary (and in a pinch you can use any number of other things, like baking paper or cheap fabric).
