I cut my fabric "prior" to sewing and line up the edges......how do you determine how large a piece you need for each piece....especially if you are lining up pattern? (sorry to be so dense)
The Freezer Paper method isn't PP. It's a modified template method. You cut out the templates on the dotted line (the finished size.) You then iron these templates onto the backside of the fabric. Next you cut your fabric 1/4 inch bigger than each template. You don't line the fabric up with the edges, so if you are off in cutting it's ok, as long as you have at least 1/4 inch. You line the edges with pins like the tute shows. I can take picts if you want.

I've started printing the line drawings to use for my templates so as not to use so much ink or freezer paper.

I also use glue, heat set with the iron, in the seam allowances.

Clear as mud????
