Between the dryer, glove, and sticky roller sheets, it is looking so much better.
Everyone has been so helpful.

A friend, who does long arm quilting, uses press and seal to trace patterns on and then quilts through it. She uses lots and lots of it.

Thank you to everyone who has replied. I am so glad that I posted this. Tomorrow I am going to take the quilt outside and check out my progress. :)

In a pinch I have used a damp cloth, but it is not as complete as the sticky tape roller. I keep mine on the ironing board for fe-fuzzing as I go sometimes.
