there is no wax on freezer paper, it has a plastic coating..that does not come off on your fabric, it just adheres to the fabric but can be peeled off without leaving any residue. it sounds as if you are trying to use a fusable like stitch witchery...which is great for (seamless) hems, patches ect...try finding either wonderunder or steam-a-seam, or just ask for "paper-back fusable" there are a number of different brands...then you can draw on (and iron on) the paper side and adhere the fusable side to the fabric. i have been 'playing' with freezer paper for years,, it is one of the most important 'tools' in my sewing room, it does not work to try to use it to keep the fusable off the iron, the plastic adheres to the fusable and DOES NOT COME OFF.
