I buy cheap tracing paper at WalMart. I trace the pattern on to one sheet. Then I unthread my machine and use an old needle. I put several layers of tracing paper under the pattern I traced and then sew the paper. Then I pin the sheets I just punctured the pattern onto, where I want them on the quilt top. Thread the machine, insert a new needle and then start quilting. I try to not pin very many sheets on at a time or they will sometimes tear. When you are done, rip off the paper and get out your tweezers and remove any tiny pieces of paper from your stitching.
