Sometimes Press & Seal works!

Remember me getting all whiny in my last post about how Press & Seal didn't work for transferring a quilting design? Well, while I stand by that--especially if it's a quilt top that you don't intend to get soaking wet!--I did find a use for it.

I'm doing a "dry run" on a whole cloth quilt I've been thinking about for a couple of years and hope I like the final product well enough to enter into the KC Regional Quilt Fest in June. I got it on the quilt frame and wait! Some how I had the one part that I really had to mark (with water soluble blue marker) reversed! Oops! I washed it off, drew it on the Press & Seal and stitched. Since I knew I would be blocking this quilt (so marker would wash off) and the design I used the Press & Seal on was not detailed (so no picking out itsy-bitsy pieces of Press & Seal), it worked great. So I've changed my mind--I'd give it a qualified ok to use in certain situations.

So here is the dry-run for "We Are....All the Colors of the World"--some things I will be changing!
