My Favorite Extras:

Magnets 

Strong Magnets 

The easiest way to never forget to use your teflon sheet when layering vinyl - make sure it’s ALWAYS on your press.  Personally, I use these super strong magnets on my press to keep my teflon sheet in place.  Plus it keeps my kids from walking away with my teflon sheet.  I’m always ready to craft.  This set comes with 12 magnets for under $9.

These pressing pillows are perfect to press HTV onto items with buttons, thick seams, or zippers.  They ensure that even pressure is applied to the vinyl. Grab this 3 pack for around $16.
