Thanks everybody....I think I have the way to do it, at least over open areas. The pin ***** method worked perfectly. At first I used a regular T-pin. That made holes that were big enough to print through. A fine sewing pin solved that issue. It still can be an issue over a covered wood area, but very low heat, slow movement and patience rules here. I was told about another good method. Make the pieces with the normal 3/8'' overlap and stick the whole panel's covering together on waxed paper. Now pick the whole piece up and apply it as you would a single sheet.
Wax paper will leave a film of wax on the gluing surface of the covering. A better choice is parchment paper. NOTHING sticks to it and it won't leave a residue. Well some hairs from the paper stick but the glue underneath will still adhear.
