Press and seal? That sounds like a great idea. Going to try that one. Thanks.

I tried the press & seal on a practice square the other day & it did not pull on the stitches!! It stretched till it gave & the stitches stayed.

I wanted to say how wonderful this board is that we can bounce all these ideas around. :thumbup:

I use the press and seal plastic wrap too, works great and removes with no problems.

I use tracing paper and fine point sharpies. The tracing paper is a little expensive but a little goes a long way if you are careful how you use it.

This looks like Golden Threads paper to me. It comes off easily after you sew through it.

I use that type of paper on knitted fabric I think. I iron it on, stitch and then peel it off and it works very well.

I love this idea!! How easy! I tried Press N Seal - tearing it off pulled the stitches....maybe a little perforating would help with that, too.

A big thank you to all who shared their wonderful ideas and thoughs. Have never machine quilted but I do believe I could do it now after all these great tips.
