Go to the web site below and go to the 5th video. "Transfer Eze". That's another way how to do it.
Hope that helps!

I quilt without thread to make the tissue paper pattern and then pin it to my quilt. I wouldn't use spray baste in my printer but I'm a scardey cat!

I tried onion skin paper, took me 2 hours to get it out of my printer.

The printer matters a great deal. My previous, home version, printer took tissue just fine. I bought packs of deli paper from Costco and printed on them, both for this and for paper piecing. My new business printer is higher speed and shreds deli paper. Obviously, I won't be using that method now.

Unlike onion skin, deli paper is super cheap.

Just let me know if I am missing something. If you glue the tissue paper on printer paper so you can send it thru the printer, aren't the 2 pieces of paper glued together? They can't be pulled apart can they? And if they are glued together you might as well just use the printer paper.

Ah yes, thanks. I was about to ask what type of printers everyone was talking about, since I have a laser printer. If I had a cheap inkjet, I might be more willing to experiment.
