I guess I’m missing something. Having used this type of paper overlay quilt patterns myself, if there are pins underneath how will you remove those pins when you sew to them without messing up the paper design? I normally use Elmer’s glue watered down a bit and a thin brush to glue baste my tops before quilting. So no pins to remove except those holding down the paper design. Picking out the paper once the top is quilted is time consuming but I’ve found a water brush helps with the pesky spots and speeds things up. Since I’ve used glue for the basting, I wash the quilt when completed.
