    I'm wondering... I've watched my SIL trace patterns onto tissue paper, use spray adhesive to attach them to a quilt, then machine quilt. I'm wondering if the spray adhesive could be used to fix the tissue paper to a piece of printer paper, and sent through the printer to print patterns from a computer. If it worked it sure would be faster. Anyone ever try it? If the papers try to split upon entry maybe folding the printer paper over at the leading edge, with a tight crease?

    I do not know about your question but your sister is ingenious. I will try that too.

    I've never tried it, but whoever makes the 505 spray also makes a 202 that supposed to be used for pattern pieces. I'd probably try that thru the printer.

    This sounds like a great idea! It is worth a try.

    Can't you just use a scanner? Put the pattern piece on the scanner and then "press" print?

    ok... who's brave enough to try it on their printer first? Let the rest of us know how you & your printer make out. LOL

    I think the object is to get the pattern onto tissue paper.
