Hi All, I've had the same problem with a Rowenta iron.
I work in the wardrobe department at the Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ontario and we use a very heavy duty interfacing as a pressing cloth which is somewhat transparent and is great if you want to see what you are pressing. The fabric has almost a plastic feel to it but it can withstand the heat of an industrial iron. I'm not sure of the exact name of the stuff but I start back in Stratford in a couple of weeks so if anyone wants to know I can find out for them.
