Thanks so much for mentioning this!!! I had heard of it before but if I don't write it down, I forget . . .and I'm doing a hand applique quilt currently. I've always done the needle turn and just used about 30 zillion straight pins and stabbed the dickens out of myself - I bought freezer paper and then decided I didn't want to go that route. So thank you thank you for reminding me of the freezer paper!!
