I used tissue paper when sewing fabrics like silk or chiffon or taffeta to stabilze the back then tear off. I did a strip quilt with freezer paper but would not do again because..... you had to leave paper on while you sewed the strips together(it was heavy and pulled to the side of machine. I got smart and started tearing off paper (was a pain around corners) leaving only one row of paper at a time while sewing others. Next time I will either use muslim or used dryer sheets-- just bought two big boxes.
