You can buy just the Gold paper at a LQS. I've used the plain. I traced the designs I wanted and pinned the paper down. FMQ around the design. Works pretty well. I don't care for all over, so I mix and match.

I loved watching this video. Thanks for posting and I'm sure I'll use this method in the near future.

I have not used this particular site, however, I have ordered a similar product, if not the same one, it's been a while; but having the strips on either side of the design on the roll makes it easy to attach to your quilt, maybe add a few pins here and there, but I have liked the results. I remember using the large cable design on a quilt and I was very pleased with the results and it was easy to tear off the quilt. I thought it was a great way to do a large stencil design without the marking.

I hand quilt and trace my designs on wash away stabilizer tha machine embroidery users use. It is super easy to stitch through and washes completely out. I usually buy a bolt at a time wher it is on sale or i have a good coupon. It comes on a bolt in the stabelizer section but you don't need to purchase the entire bolt. I trace my design on the stabelizer then pin it to my quilt top and stitch away. I have been using this method for years and have never had it rip on me and have done various sizes of quilts.

Just found a new site quiltingmadeeasy.com that has quilting paper for borders/blocks. Has anyone used this site and if you have used this type of paper, what are your experiences with it? I have used stencils before but was wondering if the paper would be easier to use and worth the expense? Thanks.
