I transferred the pattern onto it by putting the film over the paper pattern and tracing it with a permanent marker called a sharpie. then I centered it on the block and pressed it into place. Then I sewed it with my new machine. ( I was feeling lucky) It sewed well. Didn't gum up at all. Then I began the process of removing the film. It came off well. All of the little places took some time but overall I liked the process and will defiantly use it again. Good luck Panda. Please give it a shot and see how you like it. Post your results.

Love your quilt. I have used Press N Seal in the same manner and have not had any problems either.

COOL!!

I'm still not wanting to use the Press N Seal, but then again....if you think about it, we all pretty much use Wonder Under/Stitch Witchery/Heat N Bond and it's all got glue in it, right?

Yes Terri they all do. Sure Loretta. I sent Panda some Press-n-seal and we were talking about how to use it. So I tried.

I am chicken out sewing with regular foot and regular dogs come out with my 30 yrd sewing machine, but will give it a try on sewing meandering or just going spiral for the first attempt.

I sewed the circle with the feed dogs up and the rest I had them down with the quilting foot on free hand. the whole sun is about 8 inches square.

How awesome!! Thanks for trying this out and posting the results!! I may just have to lose my fear of free motion. I've not yet had the guts to try it!

Press 'n Seal instead of Sulky? Is it much cheaper? I suppose one of the benefits is that it won't dissolve if you sweat.
