I'm attending a class this coming Wed to learn how to do it this way. You don't have to change you stitch length or use a larger needle because you aren't going to tear off any paper! I've also used it for applique, but prefer to use heat-resistant plastic sheets and brush on starch around the edges and iron. I get nice, crisp lines that way.

Oh ok. That makes sense. Thanks!
