I also thought this would be a great way to follow a pattern so I tried it on a lap size quilt. I think it worked OK except the sheets of GLAD kept sticking together and made it a little cumbersome. I was happy with the results until I started peeling off the GLAD. Use lots of patience, good light, and a tweezers to get the plastic wrap off. There were some spots that loosened/ripped the thread but not too bad. It is a good way to follow a complicated pattern.
