I needed to copy machine stippling in a small area. I used wash away stabilizer instead of the PnS. Tears off easily and any leftover pieces will wash away. I used a frixon pen to mark the design.

The first time I read this I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I gave it a good try, but the Press & Seal gummed up the sewing machine needle so that I had to keep stopping and using an alcohol wipe to remove the sticky film.
That being said, I was introduced to Press & Seal and love it for other uses!

I used it and was sorry. The little bits of plastic I had to try to pick out from under the stitches was really bad. Never again. You could try it on a small scrap of something and see if your results are different.

I am with the never again group! All that was described above, is what my experience was too!!!

Same thing ing happened to me- I used a sharpie and then had black dots with every stitch. Never tried it again. Be heard of people using it successfully but I haven’t tried other methods.

I tried it "once" years ago and was not impressed. Now I have the rest of the roll sitting here until anot idea for its use becomes available. I don't use it as a food wrap.

I am in the never again group. I tried it on a practice piece and the sharpie ink came through and then found plastic pieces stuck in the stitches. After finishing with the piece, I pitched it instead of saving it for a QAYG project in the future.

If you want to mark something like this, Pn S isn't easy to remove, there are better products. What I use is Miracle Film by Marathon. It's a thin perforated Heat Away stabilizer. I use a thin Sharpie to mark my design, let it dry overnight (or cheat with a hairdryer on low heat----remember it's heat away!), attach it with a light spritz of temporary spray adhesive, and quilt on the lines. Because it's perforated, it tears away so easily I've never had to use a hot iron to remove any of it.

Thank you, everyone!

I used it on my wedding dress quilt because it can't be washed. Like copycat I used the Frixon pens for marking. My thread was metallic silver so I used the black pen and if there is still some of the plastic left behind, you can't tell.

Yes you have to be careful pulling it up, and yes if you have small sections its difficult but if chalk or other marking wont work its a great alternative.

Also discovered that a hair dryer works just as well for removing Frixon marks if the iron isn't practical (I had wool batting and plastic beads that I was worried about). Dad came up with that idea.
