And I love that fold back method to paper piece. I'll have to try that on the next project. The only thing I wonder about is if you can put freezer paper in the printer. I don't think I want to hand trace all the paper piece patterns. The kimono block has 4 separate parts that get sewn together at the end. That would be 80 pieces of pattern to trace..... too much. I did hear someone say that they bought freezer paper in a regular 8 1/2 x 9" sheet size. Have any of you seen this?
I get 8 1/2 x 11 freezer paper sheets from here: cjenkinscompany.com I haven't had any problems at all running it through my printer. I don't remember what I pay for it, but it's not terribly expensive and well worth the price to not have to trace on regular freezer paper and struggle with it jamming in the printer. A 200-sheet pack lasts a long time.
