    I cut a large piece of freezer paper and press the shiny side down on my ironing board... Keeps the ironing board cover clean... When it gets bad I just peel it off and place a new piece on.

    For Ginger, I have an inexpensive HP printer (29.95 several years ago). It is an ink jet printer. It prints on the side that is face down in my paper supply stack and you would want to print on the dull side. Hope I have explained it. And, BTW, I went to the home of a business acquaintance of my DH a few years ago and he had a large metal building (24' x 48') behind his home. He lives on a major highway and he was filling the building with items that he intended to use to open an auction. He told us anything we saw and were interested in to let him know. I spotted some Reynolds Freezer paper in the large box (measured 33 ft x 18 inches). I asked him how much and he said "how about $2 a box was that ok?"
    I grabbed 3 boxes and I don't think I will ever run out.

    You can also buy precut sheets (8.5x11) from JoAnns....useful if you will only be using it for one project.

    In the inklingo way of piecing, the fabric is ironed onto a sheet of freezer paper then put thru an ink jet printer.....I have done it with no problem........but as stated...not a laser printer........

    I was confused when I told you to avoid freezer paper on your iron and ironing board...it is fusible web that makes a terrible mess. The rest of the information I gave you I believe to be totally correct...or from my experience to be correct.

    I was cleaning out a closet the other day and found three rolls of freezer paper, so that plus the two I already had on the shelf should take care of me until 2051 and then I'll send DH to get some more.

    I use the freezer paper to trace (as a coloring book page) and then iron it on the fabric for appliqué. It is also great when you are working with felt - little pieces like the iris and the pupil of the eye for stuffed animals & dolls, or a poodle for a dolls 50's skirt It's an essential in my sewing room..

    I found freezer paper can be in any aisle of the store. Usually on the bottom shelf out of direct sight. I have found it with the cake mix, canning supplies, meat dept, laundry products, and in the craft dept. I keep two boxes in my sewing room.

    I have used freezer paper to iron onto the wrong side of a piece of white fabric, when I make my quilt labels on the printer. If ironed on well it will run right through the printer with no problems.

    When I do Linus work session with children, I iron freezer paper on the back of fabric to stabilize it for the kids when they use crayons or fabric markers on quilt blocks. It can often be reused.
