Thank you so much everybody and a big special thank you to Lacelady with the freezer paper technique. I had never heard of that, what a good idea!! Now I know what one of the long arm quilters must have been talking about when she wrote about the freezer paper method. I had no idea as I have only used freezer paper for applique and paper piecing I couldn't fathom how one would use freezer paper for marking a quilt top.
