i tried it once was told you could draw your design on it with a marker put it on the quilt top and stitch through it...so we did...and when we removed it (which was a pain) we had black marks all over...everywhere the needle punched through it left a black dot on the quilt...we used a sharpie, maybe it wasn't dry? but i think it was, anyway, i have not tried it for anything since...it's a pain to work with and i love freezer paper :)

I've read that people will draw their design on a sheet of paper, put the press and seal on, and then sew the lines without thread. Then take the press and seal and put it on your quilt, then pounce with a chalk type pad to mark the design through the holes. Obviously you'd be limited to the size of the paper but it wouldn't get black dots on the fabric. I haven't tried it-I'm too chicken to try any kind of free motion quilting.
