When you use freezer paper, copy pattern pieces to shiny side of freezer paper with a sharpie pen, press the sheet of patterns down on a mat, remove it, press a second piece down on a mat and remove it. Let cool. Now press the plain sheet back down on the pressing mat, place pattern sheet down on top of the first sheet and press to the first sheet. By pressing the sheets separately, you will not get bubbles in your freezer paper templates. Next, cut out pattern pieces on drawn lines. Press pattern pieces to the back of the fabric, cut around pattern pieces leaving about 1/4" or a little less around each piece. Apply starch to excess fabric and press over templates. Remove freezer paper after ironing and apply to background fabric by machine or by hand.
