yes--the paper will all be gone when the quilt is laundered-

Just had this same discussion in another thread in this section. I use Golden Threads paper, which is gold in color and is a thin tissue type of paper. It comes on a roll. I trace the pattern, then cut around the pattern and pin it onto the top of the quilt. After quilting, I tear off most of it, and leave what doesn't come off. After it's finished, I look for pieces I can remove easily, but the rest comes out when I wash the quilt.

I use the Kabinet Wax/deli wax that you can buy at Sam's. Great value for your money. I run an iron over the piece of waxed paper before I use it to get the crease out. Love it and so easy to remove...even when I forget to shorten my stitch length.

I found that running your finger over the stitching usually loosens the paper fairly well, but I do use tweezers for the rest. Washing helps, too, but sometimes leaves a few bits here and there.

That is Press and Seal... it works like a charm. Not really sticky, and it doesn't gum up the needle.

Yes I have used golden threads paper ane since it's on a roll you don't have so many small patterns. Sometimes I son't want a smaller stitch. This paper comes off great.

The product you mention is called Press and Seal , it is made by Glad, you will find it in your grocery store with the wrapping papers. I always use it when I hand quilt. I never machine quilt, I suggest a practice block

I have used the press'n-seal before with mixed reviews. Loved the ease of use and transparency. I marked the pattern with a permanent marker (may have also used ball point pen one time). But when I went to remove it it was a problem to get it out of the tiny places between loops, petals, etc. Add to that the darkness of the marker which stayed under some of the stitches and it was a mess!! It would be interesting to use the frixion pens to see what happens. That way, pressing to melt the plastic wrap would be more possible. Not a good idea w/permanent marker. Have also tried the tissue paper and some of those bits may be with the quilt for a while. I am trying to get better control of the FMQ but sometimes I get some really tiny stitches if I don't move the fabric/adjust speed as I should and this adds to the conundrum.

might try a lint roller??

Small stitches, and crease before tearing if on a straight line. I use a pin to scratch out teeny pieces.
