I have used 3 different papers: large packs of white tissue paper. You can usually find it on clearance during the holidays. Notebook paper, which is about 16 lb. paper vs. the regular copy paper which is about 20 lb. Hobby Lobby sells 50 yd rolls of rice paper for $6.00 using a 40% coupon. Doesn't matter how you do the FMQ, it is still quilting regardless of how you get to the end result.

Try to use thinner paper, such as tissue paper, and trace using a light box or window.The reason I suggest this is that the thicker paper can make the loops of the stitches be a bit longer than they should be and when you pull it away the stitches can pull, bend out of shape and distort.The tissue paper is more forgiving.

What is press and seal I haven't heard of it . Does any one know if it is available in Australia. It sounds like the ideal thing.
