I bought a roll of the Golden Thread paper for doing designs on. I haven't tried it yet and you have to pin it in place but it is made for machine stitching through. There are pre-printed design sheets but I still think they have to be pinned? I have used the Glad Press & seal for doing one off designs but if the design is intense, you have to pick out some of it too. Some people use ordinary tissue paper in a stack. You mark the top piece and use an unthreaded machine needle to perforate all the sheets on the design. You can then pin on the tissue design to stitch through. I will check back on this thread because maybe someone knows of a new method?
