Do You use Press n Seal in your quilting?
 

Does anyone use Press n Seal in your quilting and if so, how do you use it? Just seems to me, with it's stickyness, it should be useful.

Is this the stuff for covering a bowl of leftovers? I too wonder how that would be used. I will be watching this thread.

here's a recent discussion about it http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...n-t288002.html

It was a pain in the butt to pick the little bits out from the stitching. Sulky has a dis-solvable product that works like it, but much easier to remove. Once you are done, you can wash away the stabilizer.

Years ago I read about using Press N Seal for quilting. Sounded great ~ draw the design on the press n seal, then quilt on the lines, then remove the press n seal & there is your quilting. I drew my simple design using the only thing that I could find that would write on the press n seal ~ a sharpie, if I remember correctly. I quilted away and was thrilled with my progress ~ until I removed the press n seal only to find the ink in little dots all over the quilt. Transferred to the fabric. Permanently.

that's what happened to me also

I used it backin the late 90's for my Dear Jane, busy bag blocks.
Didn't use it again until last year (still the same box) when I made my La Passacaglia eep quilt. We've been traveling more so I prepped the pieces then laid it on the wrap in the way they were supposed to look when finished :) Saved a lot of brain fatigue.

what I used was the kitchen type press and seal, I don't know anything about this one.

I have used it once. It really helped me follow the pattern. I will say it is kind of messy with getting all those little plastic pieces off the quilt, but I would do it again. Right now I'm using waxed paper. I read somewhere about using it. I didn't mark it with any ink. I used an old tooth brush that I had my husband sharpen the end for me. I put the the wax paper under the stencil and mark. So far I've been able to do okay with it. I'm going to see if I can post a picture from my phone to show you what I mean. If not, I'll try to get a picture with my regular camera.

Before I go look for my camera, would it be okay to use cornstarch on a stencil instead of chalk? haha Just wondering. Yeah, it's getting late and I think I should go to bed. :D
