I use Press n Seal. It is like Saran Wrap but adheres to anything you place it on and is repositionable. You can see through it and it tears off really easy. I draw my designs right on top of it or trace them and then place it on my quilt. Nice thing is it stays put without any pins. You can print your quilting design out on the printer, cut around it loosely, place the design printed side up, put the press n seal over the top extending well past the edges of the paper design and place over the square you want to work on. I always have it in the house but quilting is the only thing it gets used for. Ann in TN

if you use a thinner paper it would be easier to tear off after the quilting

I use press n seal...the stuff you cover bowls with. You can see through it. It temporarily sticks to the fabric and comes off easily.

There is a paper created especially for this purpose, it is by "Golden Threads", Golden Threads Quilting Paper. GoldenThreads.com.
Good luck

I trace the stitching with a pointed bamboo stick to cut the tissue paper between the stitches. If small pieces of tissue remain, I gently pass the stick across the stitch and the paper comes right out. I don't need to use tweezers.

I used tissue wrapping paper that I got @ the dollar store. It was to FMQ a string of Christmas lights on a table runner. Worked great & came off easily. What didn't I just got wet.

I notice when I use the Press and Seal on my dishes it leaves a residue on them. Those of you who have used it for FMQ do you notice any residue left on the fabric?
