Oh, and I'm a little OCD...if I'm going to be doing this for the first time on a "real live quilt" (after practicing), I didn't wanna muck it up, so having a pattern to go by would keep me from zigging when I should have zagged...
I've used it on meandering quilt designs and other simple, open designs---waves, etc---and it's wonderful. Sticks right on there, easy to rearrange if necessary, easy to see through and reasonably easy to remove, at least as easy as most papers I've tried. Try it on a test piece and see if you like it, too!
