There are at least two ways to get that freezer paper folded easier. One is to put some straight edge on the line as you fold it. A piece of stronger paper works or a playing card.
The other is to put a ruler on that line and crease it lightly with a not-too-sharp instrument. A ball point pen would be great. Now the paper will fold easily exactly on the line.
You fold all the lines on the paper from edge to edge before you start sewing anything. We've used the same piece of paper to make 20 blocks. Freezer paper is strong and lasts a long time.
