i really messed up when i tried this...i used a black sharpie to trace a design on the press and seal, then stuck it to the quilt top and quilted it...the black ink when through with each needle punch...so i had little black dots all over the quilt top and since it was a sharpie it was permenent...i wish this had worked better for me but i have not been brave enough to try it again since...it was a neat technique but i am just thankful i tried it on my own quilt and not someone elses....the quilt that was supposed to be a gift is just another on the stack stuffed into the linen closet...oh well. i don't know if i just didn't give the ink time to dry, or if it was just the wrong thing to use to draw with...a pencil did n't work...anyway...
that's my experience with it.
