Thank You for the tip. I am going to try it today. It feel that the feed dogs have not been moving my fabric along. I think it is time for a tune up?

We don't have any freezer paper in the store here.
Freezer paper is white and has a shiny plastic on one side that makes it waterproof. It is often used by the butcher to wrap meats. You can iron that shiny side to fabric and it will stick to the fabric; you can also peel it back off the fabric.

The kind of paper used for baking is called parchment paper. It does not have the shiny plastic side and will not stick to fabric when ironed. This paper can be used to protect your ironing board and iron when using fusibles; fusibles will not stick to it, so it is a good substitute for much more expensive Teflon-like applique sheets sold for this purpose.

If you are on good terms with our local meat market.....butcher paper is the same thing and much cheaper. I get mine free as needed.
