Not wishful thinking. You use freezer paper. You "sew" the pattern onto freezer paper with an unthreaded needle so it preferates (sp?) the paper.
Here is a link to one tutorial I found:

This gal is assuming you have a preprinted freezer paper pattern and says to score it. I have never had a preprinted freezer paper pattern so I just use a normal paper pattern and have it on the top with several pieces of freezer paper underneath (hit the layer with the tip of your iron in a couple of spots and it will stick together and not move when you do this step) when I do the preforation step. However once you get to about step 4 of this tutorial the steps are basically the same.
I love this method! the waxy coating of the freezer paper stablizes the entire unit as you progress and the pattern pieces are reusable. I have gotten up to 8 units out of one piece before it quit sticking.
