TOPIC: press n seal

Press n Seal 29 Mar 2007 18:32 #2781

Just be careful with the marker you use. When you stitch through the press n seal it carries of marker through to the fabric. yuck :(

When I first saw the press-n-seal I thought that surely it had quilting applications. Then I remembered an episode of Simply Quilts where a lady used masking tape to "pound" flowers onto fabric. I think I'll give that a try come springtime.

As a long arm quilter, I use the glad press and seal to repeat my designs on a quilt.

For example, if I want to make sure feathers are a match, and I don't have a stencil, I trace what I had done on to the glad wrap, and stick it to the next area I want to quilt an exact repeat.

It works great for me.

since I am not perfect...and no matter how careful I am in piecing and then sandwiching the quilt. sometimes I have little pockets of more quilt top than bottom....my husband calls them "puckers" such an ugly term. I prefer to call them "extra warmth".

Sorry, but what do you mean by "areas of extra warmth?" Probably a silly question, but I am a firm believer there is no such thing as a DUMB question!

I tried that w/ my regular machine quilting and found it too difficult to tear away-- those sticky bits were a mess--

press n seal 14 Feb 2007 06:44 #935

I guess anyone who's seen the handi-quilter set-up video already knows this...but glad press n seal makes a great quilting design marking tool. use a washable marker to trace your design and then simply smooth it onto your quilt top. it helps to stabilize any areas of "extra warmth" too. the only con is having to pick out the stuff from your stitches, but a dip and spin in the washing machine will help.
