I use a roll of examination table paper to copy my quilting designs. Pin them to the quilt top, quilt through the papers and then remove the papers. The exam paper holds up better than tissue paper but is easy to remove. Since the exam paper is any length you want, I make the design for one quilt width. The first time, I pinned all the papers to cover the complete top as the pattern overlapped. That didn’t work well. The second one, I pinned one pass and then lined up the next pass as best I could. I couldn’t find anything that was off kilter when the quilting was done so I must have match them up well enough. I bought the exam paper on Amazon. It comes in two widths.
