    Yes, I've done that and I copy it onto tracing paper which is very easy to rip off.

    I bought a roll of tissue weight paper that I can use to copy the quilting stencil on and then pin to the quilt. You can still see through it, but it has the added benefit of being easy to tear off, especially after sewing through it.

    Tissue paper is the best ideal so far
    Its ultra thin and works very well
    Good Luck to you

    glad press & seal, does it tear on the stitch line? or do you have to cut it away? Thanks!

    It tears on the stitch lines.
