Bellaboo - using a grocery bag to save the ironing board - super idea!

I decided I didn't like the poinsettia because the bottom flower wasn't in the middle. I was able to pull it up and it didn't leave any residue. I moved it to the middle and ironed it down again and it stayed. I like it much better now.

I use Steam a Seam for appliques too & I like it a lot. I buy it by the yard at the quilt shop & it's quite reasonable that way. If you buy the packages of 5 sheets, it can be costly, check with your quilt shop or in a catalog. Connecting Threads used to have it but I don't see it anymore in their catalog?

I bought it on ebay. The only problem with that is shipping but I bought 4 yards and she shipped it all together so total cost was $20.40. I don't know if that is bad or not. I will check the quilt shops some day but my friend bought a whole box and she said she would sell me some at her cost so I can't go wrong there.

I don't like it at all. It was really hard to work with. I prefer wonderunder or ultra bond. It was a real mess, the paper kept coming off.

:thumbup: I'm a big fan of the brown paper sack. When I run out, I ask the grocer to use paper sacks. There comes a time when you can have too many plastic grocery bags, right?

It works good, but you have to make sure your drawing on the right side so stuff doesn't come out backwards

Think I know why I didn't like the Steam to a Seam. It was old like someone else said. The paper kept coming off & you couldn't tell what side you were suppose to work with. Live & learn. I might try again, I don't know.

I've found out that either side works and if the paper come off I just put it back on. Maybe if you put a little tape on the sides it will stay on until you are ready to cut it. I have even take one side of the paper off to draw on it before I cut it.

March 8, 2009 In the newest "Quilters Newsletter" magazine, April/May 2009/No.409, there is an article titled, "Hidden Landscapes," by Kathryn Wagar Wright with Irene Berry, from which I will quote. "I recommend Steam-a-Seam Lite because it has a sticky side that lets you position the parts temporarily and move them while you're planning."
