I found that like FP, these sticky backings could be used multiple times. Don't know where to tell you to get JUST the sticky backs but if you ever have a project requiring the printable fabric sheets DON'T DISCARD those backs after removing your printed fabric.
Yes, it's called "Garden Beauty" and is in the June 2010 issue of Quilter's World. See the cover of the issue at

Here's where I am so far.
Hope this helps - I hadn't previously seen this technique - but I think I'm going to have to try it. Your first block is impressive! Since you weren't able to post the photo of the pattern, can you tell us the name of the pattern?

OK tried ironing just a narrow strip of the top of a slightly smaller sheet of FP to a normal piece of paper and it went thru just fine...so far! 32 more to go!
If there are other ways I'm a good learner!
Awright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First piece done! Not perfect but I've learned something new! Only 32 more to go! I feel like we are all doing it together.
This is fun!
