I loved the Press & Seal idea too, but I found that if your stitch length is short, the stuff can be darn near impossible to remove and won't come out in the wash. I did some feathered wreaths with Press & Seal and no matter what, particles remained. I would try this on a sample before using it on a quilt you've spent a lot of time on.

Doesn't anybody use pounce and stencils? I am so scared of my first FMQ project, so I bought all the stuff (Ultimate Pounce I think it's called; can be removed with a hot iron). I tried the official-quilting tissue and spent hours picking the paper off the sample quilt - I won't use that again.

I trace my QD on water soublable interfacing. Pin it onto the fab and away I go. Found out the HARD way not to sew directly on the ink when quilting on light fab. Ink stayed on the fab. Had to use hair spray and a Q-tip to get it out.
