That's the abbreviated version, but it sounds different than what you're talking about with the freezer paper. I always use a thin tracing paper when paper pieceing as it tears out easily once sewn with a tight stitch (like a #1), and it's easy to see the marked lines and whether or not you've got your fabric over the lines far enough.
Hey, the abbreviated version helps...I actually "get it" now. Thanks!
