You sound like me, determined to do something, just to say you can :).
I never had a prob with paper moving as it's sewn before pressing the seam & you press straight up & down, not ironing back & forth.
That's for regular PP, not for using freezer paper.

I'll see if I can track down that book. I think you are right. Maybe if I start over at the beginning and at a nice slow pace I'll get better results.
The instructor kept promoting freezer paper since the waxy finish held the fabric still. Does it shift a lot when you use regular paper, or stay fairly still (since it would get iron-pressed between stitching?
