I'll have ta smooth 'em out when I start quilting again, 'cause some of the edges are coming up. After it is quilted and it's time to take it off, it tears better than paper. Some of the tight corners are a little hard ta come off but I then use tweezers. Clear as mud?[/QUOT

Crystal clear! You did a great job explaining.

Thank you for the information.
I read about using Press n' Seal on quilts back about 2 years ago,
but never really knew how to use it.

I am doing some sampler blocks in between quilting my tops. I may use this idea on
those blocks.

Thanks again.
