    Default Correction on today's articles

    I just read today's article which was Paper Piecing. In the paragraph about paper to use, it was mentioned that freezer paper is good but that it isn't available precut. I have been buying precut packaged freezer paper for years. It is available online and is also available in some of the office supply stores. It is wonderful for paper piecing.

    I would think ripping freezer paper might be troublesome.....but those that do the fold type pp do use.

    I agree. I use cheap computer paper or newspaper print that tears very easily for my PP.

    If you use the freezer paper method, you never sew through the paper, so you never have to rip it. And I've been ordering 8 1/2 x 11 freezer paper from C. Jenkins for years.

    The statement was about the freezer paper not being available in pre cut pre printed blocks?

    As I remember it, and it was a few days ago, it said that precut freezer paper wasn't available -- not precut preprinted blocks.

    We "finished" a Grandmother's Flower Garden started in 2001. It came with thousands of hexies already basted to freezer paper. I am sure those freezer paper hexies were cut with some machine. They were very uniform. Because of that it came out matching perfectly even when ten people worked on it.
    I don't know if the person who started it cut them or if they were bought.

    I've done it this way and really like it. I also have the papers from MSQC.

    I have done a gfg using freezer paper hexies,but that's epp---English paper piecing--a different technique. I think this thread is pertaining to paper piecing. That is sewing, by machine, the pieces of fabric onto the paper (in this case), then when finished, paper is torn away leaving a completed block.....
