I also feel that you do NOT HAVE extra wastage of material with unnessary cuttoffs. Appreciate your comments. My first request on this wonderful site.
Happy sewing to you all out there.
Instead of fusibles, was it really freezer paper?
I have tried that method only once - in a workshop. Judy Mathieson introduced it & personally, I don't care much for it. I was fighting it the whole time. The freezer paper didn't want to stay put! I would rather tear the papers off when finished - good TV watching activity.
Also, I don't understand how you would not have waste when PPing, what with over-cutting and trimming. Let us know what you think when you try it?
