How I FMQ
#33
I do this but use parchment paper like you use in baking. It is transparent like tissue paper but a bit stronger so doesn't rip as much when I'm wrestling the top through the machine but still tears away easily once I've sewn my pattern. I do sections at a time, the width of the paper.
I say, whatever works for you (me) is just dandy and fine.

I, too, use the paper that doctors use to line their tables, like Dungeonquilter. It comes in a huge roll and I bought it at a local quilt shop for $5 a few years ago. It is a tissue about the quality of Golden Threads.
Thanks for the reminder Tartan.

sure. tissue paper is also a paper that is very thin. it is usually a white paper used to cover gifts for a present for birthdays, christmas and the like. However, it is so thin, that you can actually sew through. I hope this helps you out. You can find it at any dollar store, or walmart. You might be able to find it online. Just check your local 5 and dime store.

Re: paper removal. I use a flat white artist's eraser and rub across the remaining paper caught in the stitches. Works like a charm for me. I have also used "Press and Seal" to draw designs on, using a Frixion pen. The plastic wrap "sticks" to the fabric (tho I still pin at the corners) and is transparent enough to center on a block or border. I also use the eraser to remove.
