:D Hello All Cindilou from Canton, Ohio

Would like to know if anyone uses,The Perfect Pad Partner orAdhesive backed patterns for continuous Machine Quilting.???? Would like to try something not very good yet with free hand. :roll:

I have never heard of either one---but now I am interested to hear what everyone has to say about it too!!

I'm just learning too, so I got "Stipples Made Easy" adheasive paper to use to practice. Because the roll (9 1/2"x26') is so expensive ($15) and is one-time use, I made a master copy on templar plastic, so I can trace it on tissue paper and do it much more inexpensively that way. I find it is much easier to learn that way. I also make other master copies of other stencils I have that are really for painting but work well for free-motion quilting too. I feel more comfortable following a pattern that doing it freely. And if you don't get right on the lines, no big deal...the paper tears off easily and no marks. Good luck to you both.

Oops...Forgot the website, if you want to check it out. They have lots to choose from. www.quiltingmadeeasy.com

I would love to hear if anyone from here has used these also, and what thye think of them
