Best place to buy Freezer paper is Walmart. It's cheaper there

I would try this also. I have used it, takes a little longer, but you don't have to score the paper for the folds, and all pieces are the same size. "Tack" several layers together with the iron and they won't move around. I was thinking of trying that pattern also. Good luck with it!

i prepare my off-the-roll freezer paper for the printer by cutting it to size and then ironing it to my ironing board. after i peel it off i let it sit under a few heavy books for a little while.

Does it still "stick" to the fabric after being heated and stuck to the ironing board? I thought the "wax" would come off.

Kitsie, you can iron freezer paper over and over. It is plastic, not wax that makes it stick. If you use too hot of an iron, you WILL loose all of the sticky.

Pam, that's wonderful to know!! So I probably don't need to make any more copies!

I'm going to use the method shown on the twiddletails web site to make the quilt below

May I be nosey and ask how much a roll of Reynolds Freezer Paper is off the shelf in the US?
I might be asking for some of that paper in my next exchange - the ONLY place I've seen it here - at a quilt shop - it was $18 for the box.
I've not seen freezer paper at any supermarket or grocery shop yet - but I'm looking!
