I needed to copy machine stippling in a small area. I used wash away stabilizer instead of the PnS. Tears off easily and any leftover pieces will wash away. I used a frixon pen to mark the design.

The first time I read this I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I gave it a good try, but the Press & Seal gummed up the sewing machine needle so that I had to keep stopping and using an alcohol wipe to remove the sticky film.
That being said, I was introduced to Press & Seal and love it for other uses!

I used it and was sorry. The little bits of plastic I had to try to pick out from under the stitches was really bad. Never again. You could try it on a small scrap of something and see if your results are different.

Same thing ing happened to me- I used a sharpie and then had black dots with every stitch. Never tried it again. Be heard of people using it successfully but I haven’t tried other methods.

I tried it "once" years ago and was not impressed. Now I have the rest of the roll sitting here until anot idea for its use becomes available. I don't use it as a food wrap.

I am in the never again group. I tried it on a practice piece and the sharpie ink came through and then found plastic pieces stuck in the stitches. After finishing with the piece, I pitched it instead of saving it for a QAYG project in the future.

If you want to mark something like this, Pn S isn't easy to remove, there are better products. What I use is Miracle Film by Marathon. It's a thin perforated Heat Away stabilizer. I use a thin Sharpie to mark my design, let it dry overnight (or cheat with a hairdryer on low heat----remember it's heat away!), attach it with a light spritz of temporary spray adhesive, and quilt on the lines. Because it's perforated, it tears away so easily I've never had to use a hot iron to remove any of it.
