    I used a glue stick (which is how I was taught in the quilting class) and I just would apply the glue stick around the edge of the freezer paper and turn fabric and press. It worked well for me.

If I do let the starch dry, it’s solidly gluing the fabric to the freezer paper. What am I doing wrong?
    Seems to me that Elsie Campbell, sometimes known as Aunt Mimi, once had a lengthy article on her website regarding applique with freezer paper.
