I also use them for paper piecing on the unprinted areas.

I have tried the paper and the press and seal. Mixed reviews! The press and seal was recommended at a a quilt class I took. Great idea BUT I had a devil of a time getting it out of little spaces (inside of leaves, etc. Also marked the plastic with permanent marker - seemed like a good idea at the time. But this little bit of the plastic stayed under the stitches in places leaving black showing. ;-p It was a MESS! Tried the tissue-type paper with slightly better results though I still have tiny bits of white under some areas. My stitch length is not as great as it should be so when I get tiny stitches, there is more problem getting the paper out. I purchased some of the wash-away in a roll (took out a loan-tee hee) and it will be my next experiment. Will continue to watch this thread for more suggestions.

Thanks for the tip. I am going to try this tonight.

Do you mean water soluble stabilizer for machine embroidery? And what kind of pen do you use so it doesn't smear while you are tracing?

Thanks.

What do you use on the "Press n Seal" , any special pencil?This all sounds so interesting. I think I'm going to pull out some of my UFO's that just need to be quilted.

Which paper or Press nSeal do you use?

I'm going to bookmark this.

I went to JA's and they have a product called Wash-n-Go and a product and 2 different water soluble stabilizers. Can go give us a little more info which you used?
Thanx,

Sorry for the double post. This thing is running too slow tonight

I tried glad press n seal and found it a bit difficult to remove.
Now, I xerox on my home printer the pattern/design onto xerox paper. I use straight pins to hold it onto the queen size quilt I am quilting on my home machine. It removes easily unless my stitches become too small. I think I will try the tracing wheel to premark with the little holes.
Great ideas here!
