Printers are very sensitive, I would think twice before I put any kind of adhesive through mine. I think it would jam and possibly ruin the mechanism that send the paper through.

I never thought of spraying the paper for quilting. I usually just used pins and you can get stuck from the pins while you sew. This is a better idea--I will try it next time I am doing machine quilting other than stippling. thank you for the idea (or your SIL)

You need to scan the purchased pattern pieces and save to file.

if you go to your local library they may have books with quilt pattern just copy them on your printer and put them all in a folder. You just print out what you need when needed.

Try ironing your tissue paper to freezer paper. Iron the tissue to the shiny side. It will adhere nicely and will go through the printer. i have done this with numerous art ( handmade) papers. Be sure to go into properties on your print window to select specialty papers before printing. Good luck

I'm sorry, I haven't come back to this thread for a while. I'm the one who suggested the repositionable glue. I've been doing this now for about 4 years on both an Epsom inkjet and a high volume HP color laser with no ill effects to either. It must be the repositionable kind and it woks by turning your base paper into a very large removable sticky note. I don't use it with really thin tissue paper, but I do use it with parchment baking paper that tears very nicely away from my quilting lines.
