Thread: not preview PAPER...

But preview "Plastic"
I took a fmq class and she had a roll of plastic that you drew your pattern/motif on with a felt tip and you could preview your pattern/motif. THEN you could wipe it off ( I think she used alcohol)
or unroll some more keep the pattern/motif and draw a new one on the fresh piece.
It was not paper that you punched hole in.
It was just for seeing what your motif looked like on your quilt/square.
I should have bought it then and there but didn't.
Anyone know the name or where to get it?
Thanks in advance, Linda
PS not thin like saran wrap

don't know where to get that but have another option for you. had a speaker at our guild who uses clear plastic shower curtains. they are inexpensive and you can cut your piece as large, or small, as you want. works same as the rolls or plastic.

i can't remember the name of it, but it might be the plastic wrap that sticks to the bowl.

I just use the vinyl table cloth sold by the yard from WM or Joann's. I use dry mark pens.

I think you are thinking of Press & Seal wrap

yes, thank you. Brain not in gear this AM.
I even have some heavy plastic from Walmart when I covered my sewing table.
Bet that will work. I'll give it a try.

Don't use a permanent marking pen, only the dry erasable one.

Linda. First your profile pic just made me dizzy and I couldn't focus on your question....lol tired by now??.

I can't help much with your question but noticed you are about 45 min from me so where did you take your fm class if I may ask? I am trying to find some classes so I can use my long arm better and without the robot.
Thanks
