thanks for the great tip. i tried Press n Seal once but made the mistake of using permanent marker

Thank you for this great idea!

Thank you for sharing.

I just used Press and Seal again on a nautical baby quilt. I use a Frixion pen to trace the final design, then quilt. The pen's eraser helps grab the plastic film to remove it from the seams. I have done this several times. Here is a border on the I Spy I finished for a new grand daughter. I tend to quilt with smaller stitches as some of the designs are small and detailed, like this:

Great idea and thanks for posting it. Now to a question: What happens if you do use permanent marker? What do you use instead?

Thanks for the tip. I am putting the press and seal wrap on my grocery list now.

I like this idew. Thsnk you.

You can use a permanent marker but I managed to get a dot of it on a quilt doing something completely different! On top of a quilt!!?? - yeah, well. Also posted a request for how to remove a Sharpie stain!

Anyway I use Crayola washable markers when I'm ever close to a quilt!

As some suggest you can sew through the wrap, but when I think how many I'd have to make ... well, like I said I only use it to see different designs on the quilt, then make a template to mark and sew with.

It might be worth it to trace a stencil many times and then not have any marks to remove. What do you use to mark your quilt top and how easy is it to remove?
