The freezer paper is super easy and super cheap as well. Its about $5 for a humongous roll and there are so many other things besides quilting you can use them for. I wrap pork chops and chicken for the freezer, let my kids draw on the oversize paper, Ive used it for cookies coming out of the oven. There's 100 things you can do, also....for applique...instructions are right on the box of the reynolds brand freezer paper.
