I used the water soluble transfer methods and when I took the plastic sheet off the thread had picked up the black and I had little black dots all over the quilt. Some came out when I washed it but it was still there when I gave it away. Luckily it was for my mom and she understands about that sort of thing. If you spritz your quilt oh so very lightly, the water soluble film will stick to your quilt and no chance of it shifting. Maybe it's because I used the regular Sharpie not the ultra fine.
