There is a tute on the web that I'll see if I can find. I want to do a tute here for NY Beauty but no camera at present!
Here it is!

I cut my fabrics much closer to the size of the piece I need.
I posted a picture of mine on a recent posting about getting freezer paper in Australia.

My husband makes quilts using foundation piecing and you don't stitch through the paper. You trace the design on the paper and with no thread in your sewing machine, you sew around the pattern and make holes. The holes are your fold line for pattern. You fold the pattern and you sew next to paper, not through it.

To print on muslin or any fabric cut freezer paper & fabric ~ ironed together of course ~the same size as a sheet of paper and cautiously feed it thru the printer. Works great but you have to keep an eye on it as it feeds thru.
