All of the little places took some time but overall I liked the process and will defiantly use it again. Good luck Panda. Please give it a shot and see how you like it. Post your results.
BTW: You did an excellent job quilting! :)

I also use press and seal for machine quilting so I got brave and tried it on some dish towels for hand embroidery that I could not keep the design on
it worked great came off easy except in the very small places so I layed it face down on a paper towel and set a hot iron on it worked great what little bit that did not come off I used a seam ripper and came off very easy
without harming any stitches and is easy to sew through I will use this all the time Dodie

Your design and quilting are gorgeous, and the idea is GREAT :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
I bookmarked it so I won't lose it. And I immediately put it on DH's grocery list - showed him WHY first! He's as enthusiastic about INEXPENSIVE quiting products that WORK as I am.
I love that fabric - have some - and have several of the similar ones that have come out over the years. It's one of those that I haven't been able to cut into yet! Seeing how you've quilted yours may help!
