I have tried the paper and the press and seal. Mixed reviews! The press and seal was recommended at a a quilt class I took. Great idea BUT I had a devil of a time getting it out of little spaces (inside of leaves, etc. Also marked the plastic with permanent marker - seemed like a good idea at the time. But this little bit of the plastic stayed under the stitches in places leaving black showing. ;-p It was a MESS! Tried the tissue-type paper with slightly better results though I still have tiny bits of white under some areas. My stitch length is not as great as it should be so when I get tiny stitches, there is more problem getting the paper out. I purchased some of the wash-away in a roll (took out a loan-tee hee) and it will be my next experiment. Will continue to watch this thread for more suggestions.
