I took a class with Kent Mick and he showed us a method using the press 'n seal. He drew a pattern on a plain piece of paper then laid press 'n seal over the design. Then he stitched (without thread) the design with the machine. You then have the design perforated on the press 'n seal. Next peel the paper away and lay the press 'n seal onto your quilt and tape it down with painters tape. Then you use a "pounce" pad and rub the chalk into the perforated design. When you remove the press 'n seal you have the design marked on your quilt
