The quilting freezer paper is much heaver (stiffer) which helps it hold it's shape much better, it also has a thicker layer of plastic coating on the back which helps it stay stuck to your fabric much better.
As for the cost I don't think it's too much to spend, it gives me the noticable better result to my finished applique. It comes in two sizes, the smaller one will fit in your printer. It cost me $6.50 for 50 sheets, thats a lot of paper for me, (it will do a ton of applique) I think it is definnetly worth it. I purchased my at our local quilt shop, it can also be ordered on line.
thank you for such a detailed and trustworthy testimonial. i have just one complaint.

NOW THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE I'M ITCHING TO RUSH OUT TO BUY!!!!!!

[sigh] no rest for the weary.
