I will remember this for when I ever get brave (and experienced enough) to try. Thanks for the tip

I tried to do an embroidery (just an outline normal stitch) using regular computer paper and talk about a nightmare trying to remove the paper! I've since learned to prepunch the paper with the design so when I go to quilt it, I don't catch so much paper.
Good luck!

I print the design on tracing paper using an All-in-One type printer. As long as you have regular paper in the tray with the tracing paper, it will sense it. I buy the 11x14 inch tracing paper and use a rotary cutter to cut it to 8 1/2 x 14 so it will fit.
