I'm going to have to try Scissor Queens method also. I've always used printer paper. Print or draw my design on paper, then sew right over the paper. It's a B&^%H picking out all that paper, but at the time it was the only way I knew to do it. Thanks for the suggestion.
I read on another forum about using pages of an old phone book instead of printer paper. So that's what I did. Tore the page out of the phone book and copied onto it. This was much easier to tear off after quilting than copy paper. I also made sure my originial was dark and bold so that when it was copied, the pattern would show up well on the printed phone book page.
