I used Press and Seal on a table runner. It works really well. Just make sure you get all the little bits of plastic off if you iron! I just scraped with my fingernail to loosen the tiny bits and pulled them out with tweezers.

I've read great and horrible reviews of quilters using it to machine quilt a design on the paper and then pulling off. I haven't tried it in my quilting, but it's useless in the kitchen!

I have heard about it, but hear it's a pain to pick the small pieces out. I use Sulky Solvy instead. You mark your pattern, attach to the quilt. When you're done quilting, remove the large pieces of excess and wash the quilt. The rest dissolves. It's great! I either use a Joann's coupon or buy when 1/2 price. I did a whole quilt with the small roll - probably about $5-6.

I have used the press and seal on ONE wall hanging and about two minutes into quilting I pulled it off. Well I tried to pull it off rather I HATED it! and it was hard to get all the little bits off. I think I ended up using a pencil eraser to get the rest off. I don't like it in the kitchen either. HOWEVER!!!! If you ever break a limb put a trash bag around the cast and then seal the top up with press and seal, works GREAT! lol

It does cost a bit more than freezer paper so I am wondering has anyone tried "press and seal" and if so is it worth the extra expense?

Thanks for your help

thanks for the info
