hey, it works great!

This method works for me too

Thanks for the idea. When sewing through paper, I usually use an old pattern, cut into 8 1/2x11 pieces, taped to a sheet of printer paper. Goes through the printer, and tears off really easily.

If you lightly mist your fabric before you use the chalk, it will stay on better.

That idea has been around for almost two decades. There is even a company that has them pre-printed.

When I enlarge or shrink a quilting stencil, I use tracing paper to pin to the quilt. You can do multiple layers by letting your machine without thread following the pattern making little holes in the tracing paper that you can follow. Glad you found something that works for you.

I use baking paper (what you put on the trays in the oven with biscuits on) I lightly draw on the design with a pencil, not too hard otherwise it will come off onto the thread, and I use a longer stitch. Tears off easily.

I meant to say i use a tailors pencil. Not lead.
