Another of the beauties of Golden Thread paper is that you can make copies of your design. Simply draw your design on one piece, cut out up to 10-15 pieces the same size, stack them up with your design on top. Using a #16 needle and no thread in your machine, free motion stitch around your design through all of the sheets of paper. Pull them apart and you have up to 15 copies of your design to place on your quilt. This works best on the simpler designs, especially feathers, as you can go nuts trying to decide which dots to follow. I also like to use it on borders. You don't have to use math to get the pattern to match length of your border. I just do strips of pattern and place them on the border, then look at how much space I have left and cut up my paper strips to stretch out the design. Easy.
