Tool Tip - Quilt and Tear Paper


There is no need to trace or use markers. Quilt and Tear
comes on a roll, 12in wide x 20yds long. Tear
off enough to cover your pattern. Photocopy
your original pattern, adjusting the size as
required for your project & copy on a very dark
setting. 1 photocopy is good for 5-6 transfers.
Place Quilt and Tear on top of photocopied
pattern then press with a hot, dry iron on a
firm surface. The heat activates the toner and
transfers your design onto the Quilt & Tear
paper. Let cool then carefully peel the Quilt &
Tear paper from the photocopy.
Pin your Quilt and Tear paper with the design to
your quilt using Flowerhead pins (these allow
you to quilt without being knocked off course).
Sew through the paper and the 3 layers of your
quilt following the lines on the paper. Once
finished, tear away the paper and you are left
with a beautifully quilted quilt, unmarked!
