My neighbor uses freezer paper. She bastes first. She draws the design on graph paper for a guide. Then draws the design on freezer paper. She has matching marks so the designs line up. Then she uses a stencil cutter to cut the design lines into the freezer paper. She does small sections at a time but she sews through the cutout lines. She uses freezer paper so she can press the freezer paper to the quilt top. she may also pin some areas. Shesaves and reuses the paper.
