If it worked it sure would be faster. Anyone ever try it? If the papers try to split upon entry maybe folding the printer paper over at the leading edge, with a tight crease?

I have used tissue paper and lightly sprayed 505 and it works great. I wash my quilts after they are done so there is no residue. You can't spray much on or else the quilt gets sticky.

My printer jams when I tried to put a tissue type paper thru it -

You can use "Press and Seal" (from the grocery store) and draw quilting pattern on it and it will stick to your quilt without any additional adhesive. It tears off easily from either hand or machine quilting.

Another way to accomplish your goal is to draw your design once, put it on top of 5-6 layers of tissue and sew your design with your DSM without thread, just an old needle. You can use your original design many times before it falls apart. Using a copier to make several of your original is an option too, before you start "sewing" your design, just to make sure you have enough copies. I've done that with Golden Thread Papers and then used them on my longarm. They tear away easily.

You could use the paper made for paper piecing as it goes through the printer OK. Just scan the design or if you have a copy function on your printer, just put it in to copy it and be sure to put your "tissue" (paper piecing paper) in the part of the printer where your copy paper comes from. (My printer and my copy paper come from different trays but not all do.) Good Luck!
