Could you explain how you use the PSN for hand quilting in more detail? I am new to hand quilting and am having a lot of trouble makring my quilts where it will stay while on the frame.
Hope this is the answer. Thanks for your help.

Could you give me some detail on how you used the PSN in your hand quilting? I am new to HQ and having trouble with a templet tracing staying on the quilt. I quilt in a frame, if that makes a difference. Thanks for you help.

I have used this quite a few times and have never had any problem what so ever with it gumming anything up or being a problem to remove. When I want to remove the PNS I use a stylus to draw over the top of my stitching and press down slightly and then tear it off. It tends to weaken the perforated PNS and tears off easily. Ann in TN

Yes I used the PNS for machine quilting. I have never used it for hand quilting but I figure it would work just as well. It did not gum up my machine at all. I do not copy the pattern on the PNS while it is on the quilt though. I have read about others that were drawing the pattern right on the PNS on the quilt. I did not and would not do that.

Great idea! I have a small wall quilt that I found at Goodwill that was partially quilted....and not really well made, but I think I will use that to try this out! Sounds like it could be a great trick to getting some patterns sewn on!

I second the "Glad press n seal" stuff! I use it too, and you can even use it on the embroidery machine as a topper! It's fantastic!

I have used the press and seal method several times. However not Good idea to use on light colors as the black may punch thru. I also do the tracing and let it sit over night to dry thoroughly. I also use 2 thicknesses of the P&S.
