This way you will have more holes to make it easier to remove the paper when you go to take it out. I tried to do an embroidery (just an outline normal stitch) using regular computer paper and talk about a nightmare trying to remove the paper! I've since learned to prepunch the paper with the design so when I go to quilt it, I don't catch so much paper. Good luck! |
I often trace stencils onto waxed paper then pin them to the quilt and LA right over the paper. Much easier than marking the quilt.

You could use sandwich paper also. It's thinner and easier to remove. I use it for paper piecing.

Thank-you. That sounds great.

I think the tissue paper will work. Just be careful and slow slower so if you make a mistake you don't have to tear a lot. Good Luck. Sue

This is just a suggestion but I would trace it on freezer
paper- waxed side down press it to table top it will stay whre it is ironed then it oulls right up |
I print the design on tracing paper using an All-in-One type printer. As long as you have regular paper in the tray with the tracing paper, it will sense it. I buy the 11x14 inch tracing paper and use a rotary cutter to cut it to 8 1/2 x 14 so it will fit.

You better use THIN paper, not good quality copy paper or it will be too thick.
