It gums up your needle, which gums up your thread and machine, your thread breaks often! Then when you finally have expanded your vocabulary until the air is totally blue in your sewing room, you have to tear off the silly stuff. When doing that...you really chance tearing loose all your stitches. Believe me...use the golden thread paper...it is wonderful...heck...using a roll of toilet paper for your borders works tons better than the Press and Seal!
I'm sure expanding my vocabulary is not something my DH would want to hear. I can do that just sewing a straight stitch. :D
Press and Seal is NOT something I'll try now. It sounded like a good idea. Thanks everyone, you saved me, and my machine!!!
Never heard of golden thread paper. I'll check into it.
I read this on the Simplicity Patterns website. Might have to write them about their poor recommendation.
