Has anyone used press n seal to mark a quilting pattern on their top? If you've tried this, how did it work out for you? Would you do it again?

Kitsie

I don't mark with it but I do use it to draw a quilting design on and lay it on part of the front to see how it looks. Easy to do other patterns or can be wiped off with water.

Tartan

I used a Sharpie to mark my design on Glad press and seal. When I machine quilted the design, the thread picked up the Sharpie colour from the Glad press and seal and it was permanent.

I tried it a long time ago. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I do remember I decided not to try it again.

I had a similar experience as Tartan described although luckily I was using UltraClean Crayola Markers so was able to get it off once I picked out the itsy-bitsy pieces of Press & Seal stuck in the stitches! Will not use again like that. I do use it like Kitsie does if I want to mark a "maybe" idea of quilting and my regular plastic sheets maybe not big enough.

I'd add that it's handy if you want to wrap a roll of left over bat, backing or have a small quilt to roll and keep together with the P & S though.

What a great idea!

I had the same experience as Tartan, also it was a bear to tear it from under the stitching. Won't use it for quilting again.

Hi Claire,

Below is the link to the thread I posted with my ? about press and seal. There are some helpful tips on some that liked it and others that suggest products that work better. I used it to quilt bee hives as you see in my photo. I used a Frixxon marking pen to draw my design. I also used tiny stitches , so the press and seal tore away easily. My design had open spaces so removing it was easy. Try a sample of your design first and then decide if you like it. Good luck!


Have you used Press N' Seal Glad wrap to machine quilt a design?

I've used Press n Seal to mark and "embroider" letters and such but not an actual quilt pattern to follow.
