LOL I have a few of those "untouchable fabrics" I just bought my first layer cake of 30's reproduction fabrics. I have no idea what I will be making with that, but I know I will need valume to make those cuts.

I looked at a lot of stuff on the web and a lot of people said it was hard to get the bits out of the stitching...and if a bit stays on what happens in your dryer... i think i need to hear from more people using it. They say its works good to copy a pattern with a pin then use a pounce bag :D

I thought I was losing my mind, I knew there was another thread! :-)

It seems to be one of those things where some people really like it, and some people really don't like it. I think the only way to know for sure is try it yourself.

Maybe the gumming up problem only happens on a large quilt?

WOW! And I have PNS in my kitchen drawer for kitchen stuff! What won't quilters think of next? :!: This is one I'll use when I get my nephew's quilt done sometime this fall...I'll trace different designs related to carpentry into each block and stitch away!

I just have to add my two cents worth again. After not being brave enough to use P & S, I decided to transfer a design on my quilt using freezer paper, and I'm very pleased with the results. Paper pulls away from the stitches with ease. I use blue masking tape to hold it down. The only draw back being its not see through, but so far it doesn't seem to be a problem with the wall quilt I'm working on.

All of the controversy is why I tried it. I needed to see for myself. It worked great for me and I love it. This fabric came from Joann's

Hi
I also LOVE press n seal. I used to use it all the time with my quilting but unfrotunately glad press n seal is now not available in Australia. Apparently it was not a good seller here.
I found it doen't gum up the machine at all and when I pull it off I just go gently and in hard places to get too I use a little pair of tweezers.
Cheers Jackie
