That is a good point, honestly I have never used this method with a laser printer. I did some research online and found this suggestion from Sew Wonderful:
Here is what to do. Cut a sheet of freezer paper 17 inches by 11 inches (the equivalent of two regular sheets of printer paper side by side, aka ledger paper). Fold the freezer paper in half with the shiny sides facing and insert a sheet of regular paper between the waxed surfaces. If you want to prevent any shifting of the layers, use a warm iron to baste the layers together. Now feed the paper through the manual slot of your laser printer. You can print on both sides before you separate the layers for use.
Sorry for the confusion.
Thanks!

Excellent!! I will definitely try this.
I am curious if Redpurselady has had a chance to try this method of printing a paper piecing pattern onto freezer paper using a laser printer? I have already ordered the freezer paper online. I do not have a copy machine at home, so I am planning to ask DH to make my copies at his office .... he has a laser printer.
