the freezer paper method to me, is just regular piecing expect you have a guide to follow. i say, just dump the freezer paper and piece the project.
the whole point of the foundation is to provide stabilization to bias and/or very unstable cuts and to allow for working with pieces as small as 1/4 square.
That's odd, I find the freezer paper, when ironed on to the fabric provides great stabilazation. The smallest unit in the block was 1/2" finished tapering up to 1/8" finished. As it was a point on a mariners compass I was sewing on a bias and got no distortion whatsover, with absolutely no pinning.
