It does stick perfectly to the material. And it does come off all right. Some of the poly kimono fabrics got a bit fuzzy after I peeled it off , but it could not happen on the cotton fabrics I think.
For me, it stabilize the kimono fabrics very well to handquilt .

Wow, thanks for sharing. FMQ is too scary for me right now, but this looks doable. Love the results.
Although I've heard of folks using this product, but yours is the first I've seen. It looks great!
How big a stitch did you use, and what kind of thread? Again, thanks for sharing your success.

I've used it quite a few times. I find the little bits that get stuck sometimes in the seams are easy to remove it you scratch at them gently with your fingernail. Not hard or it will distort the stitches. Also every now and again - wipe your needle to remove any build up.

These stitches were 1.8. I don't have any nails so U used a straight pin to loosen the plastic then it came right off. I didn't have any problems at all with stretching stitches. i used poly cotton thread.

Has anyone used Press and Seal on a quilt on a frame with a quilting machine? Will the quilting foot ride over it and not "gum up" as you sew?
This could be an answer to the Pantograph which must be done from the back of the frame. This would be a good way to get designs centered and transferred on to the fabric.
Comments, please? Long arm as well as mid arm machines????
