I use this printed border paper a lot. I like it because I can apply it to the border and stitch, no tracing on a big quilt which is a hassle. And no marks to remove after I'm done. I went to a workshop and this paper was used to add a quilted two color decorations in re make a sweatshirt into a jacket. The same technique would work on a quilt border too. Very impressive looking. I haven't had any problem removing the paper but usually just remove the bigger pieces and wash the quilt. The small bits wash away. Stencils are too much hassle for me. I can put this paper on and start quilting.
