Do You use Press n Seal in your quilting?

Years ago I read about using Press N Seal for quilting. Sounded great ~ draw the design on the press n seal, then quilt on the lines, then remove the press n seal & there is your quilting. I drew my simple design using the only thing that I could find that would write on the press n seal ~ a sharpie, if I remember correctly. I quilted away and was thrilled with my progress ~ until I removed the press n seal only to find the ink in little dots all over the quilt. Transferred to the fabric. Permanently.

I used it backin the late 90's for my Dear Jane, busy bag blocks.
Didn't use it again until last year (still the same box) when I made my La Passacaglia eep quilt. We've been traveling more so I prepped the pieces then laid it on the wrap in the way they were supposed to look when finished Saved a lot of brain fatigue.

I have used it once. It really helped me follow the pattern. I will say it is kind of messy with getting all those little plastic pieces off the quilt, but I would do it again. Right now I'm using waxed paper. I read somewhere about using it. I didn't mark it with any ink. I used an old tooth brush that I had my husband sharpen the end for me. I put the the wax paper under the stencil and mark. So far I've been able to do okay with it. I'm going to see if I can post a picture from my phone to show you what I mean. If not, I'll try to get a picture with my regular camera.
