I used it but didn't like it. It was hard to get it out of the stitches.

lol, I bought a box when I heard about this and haven't used it yet ;-) Wonder if it still seals. That was three years ago.

i've used sa*an wrap (are we allowed to name names?) and had success. i don't use tiny stitches. i used a blue pen and a purple pen. they both worked. one disappears and one washes out. i wash my quilts anyway, but i don't remember any bleed-through.

try it on a sample and see what size stitch you'll need and if you like that look.
pull the plastic off slowly.

btw, if you have mid- or long- arm, you can use the plastic to create new pantos by tracing over anything that looks like a design that you don't have to lift the needle for.

I used the Press and Seal method a few times, but found it gummed up the needle and machine. Now I use tissue paper and the fine lead quilting pencils. I trace the motif/stencil on the tissue paper and pin to the quilt. It is really easy to rip off and what's left under stitches can easily be pulled out with a sharp pair of angled tweezers (one of my best friends). I did discover that if quilting using tissue on light colored fabric, it's best to use colored tissue paper with the motif/stencil traced with white lead as the normal gray colored lead will leave dark dots on the fabric. I have had great success with the tissue paper method. Oh yeah, you can press the tissue paper to smooth it out before tracing onto it. It also has a smooth side and a rougher side. Trace onto the rough side for best results.
