I use the cheapest weight of computer paper since I usually print them off the computer anyway. Don't think I would like the freezer paper. Saw that from someone else on the Board recently. I also have a couple that I bought that are on tissue paper. I think it's more difficult to work with but they are tiny pieces. Don't give up on it. Try it on your own. It's a lot of fun and a great way to use up scraps.
