I have tried the paper and the press and seal. Mixed reviews! The press and seal was recommended at a a quilt class I took. Great idea BUT I had a devil of a time getting it out of little spaces (inside of leaves, etc. Also marked the plastic with permanent marker - seemed like a good idea at the time. But this little bit of the plastic stayed under the stitches in places leaving black showing. ;-p It was a MESS! Tried the tissue-type paper with slightly better results though I still have tiny bits of white under some areas. My stitch length is not as great as it should be so when I get tiny stitches, there is more problem getting the paper out. I purchased some of the wash-away in a roll (took out a loan-tee hee) and it will be my next experiment. Will continue to watch this thread for more suggestions.

I have also traced onto press n seal. It is like saran wrap but tacky. It sticks to most anything and is repositionable. You can see through it and it tears out very easily. Ann in TN

I went to JA's and they have a product called Wash-n-Go and a product and 2 different water soluble stabilizers. Can go give us a little more info which you used?
Thanx,

Sorry for the double post. This thing is running too slow tonight

I tried glad press n seal and found it a bit difficult to remove.
Now, I xerox on my home printer the pattern/design onto xerox paper. I use straight pins to hold it onto the queen size quilt I am quilting on my home machine. It removes easily unless my stitches become too small. I think I will try the tracing wheel to premark with the little holes.
Great ideas here!
