    Default Re: How do you get the FMQ designs onto your quilt to follow?

    I use Glad Press n' Seal. It sticks to anything and is re-positionable. If the area is unusual in shape I position a piece over the area, trace the shape, take the sheet off and trace the design or draw it. Then I put it back down over the block or quilt area and stitch over the design. I even place the wrap on the quilt and draw directly on top of it. I have always used a permanent marker to draw my designs and have never had any problem with it not coming out but have read some reports from some that they have had problems. In this case you may want to use a wash out marker instead. It tears off beautifully and the great part is you can see through it. Also, you don't have to pin it down because it is just tacky enough to stay put. I do work in small areas at a time as I don't know if it would hold up to being handled through the whole quilting process if you marked the design over the whole quilt first. Ann in TN
