Freezer paper is quite difficult to get here and I love it for applique, but I was very lucky a friend of friend bought back half a roll from the states. My friend didn't want it :shock: so I scored big time :P and trust me it's treated like gold dust, is my precious :lol:
But if I ever do get caught short, I use ordinary printer paper with a little dab of washable glue stick to hold it to the fabric. Works great and peels off fine as long as you're not too heavy handed with the glue stick.
