I did the same with Press and Seal. I still have the roll but can't remember what somebody said it to use it for. Seemed like a good idea at the time

Some people draw a quilting design on the press and seal and quilt thru it. I personally don't care for it because it's a pain to get the little bits of plastic out between the stitches, especially if you have an area that you had to go over a few times, like intersections and such. Sulky Solvy is similar, but washes out. So much easier!

I use strips of Press n Seal to wind around my spools of thread to keep them from unwinding.

The deli papers are indeed useful for foundation paper piecing.

I use the deli papers for string piecing. I use the Press and Seal to make storage bags any size I need.

Thanks for shaking my brain....I am going to print these and tape them onto the box of deli sheets for future reference!-- or better yet dig out that box of scrap strips and do it! Hmmm, maybe next month!
