These is
my sample for Paula Reid' s Challenge for July 2012 FMQ Challenge at Insights from SewCalGal.

| Front using Isacord |
Since I
did not have any Golden Threads paper I
decided to try Glad Press 'n Seal. I have used this for applique
placement but not for quilting through.
I
printed the design provided by Paula and layered the Press 'n Seal
over it, it stuck nicely to the paper. I traced the design with a
fine Sharpie and let it dry. I then peeled it off the paper on stuck
it on my quilt sandwich (again it stuck to the fabric really well)
and stitched through.

| Using Press 'n Seal |
I
used Isacord on top and Sulky Rayon on the back. I really like the
shine of the rayon but the thread kept shredding when I tried it on
the top.

| Back using Sulky Rayon thead |
Needed
to use tweezers to remove as some areas are pretty small, but it did
come off clean and easily at the stitching lines.
After removing the Press 'n Seal, I stippled the centre and area around the design.
The
only problem I ran into was that a little of the ink transferred onto
the thread, but I would certainly use this method again with darker
thread but would be leery to try it with white fabric and white
thread.
Very clever use of the Glad product. Nice job on your stitching!
ReplyDeleteNice sample of your quilting. Was glad to hear how you used the Press and Seal product. I may have to give this a try if I run out of Golden Thread papers. It should easier and less fussy to use too.
