I buy mine at the grocery store, then cut them and run them through the printer. I figure if I can run photo paper I can run freezer paper. Like them better than the precut sheets, and way cheaper. I paid $9.00 for a package of 30 at LQS and they don't stick to the fabric as well.

I read in an Australian Quilting Mag some where, that in Australia you can only buy freezer paper in sheets from quilting stores not in rolls from the super market! I must admit I have not seen it on my local supermarket shelf here in NZ either! I must look further into this, as it seems to have many good uses!


In Australia you by freezer paper (Reynolds) in rolls from a quilting store. Supermarkets haven't a clue what you are talking about. Haven't seen it in sheets anywhere though.

Rolls? In the grocery store by the plastic wrap, etc. In sheets that you could use in your printer? Michaels, JoAnns, etc. Makes it really convenient to just tell it out and print your design on it without cutting to size with the rolls. Oh! Its by the painting section of the store and I think it is called pallet pad. I have used it for a couple years.

I bought my roll at Wal Mart. I love the black cat in your avatar, I have one too and he is so sweet and well behaved.

Grocery Store!!

I am sure the sheets are grand, lay flat and all.

But, I still haven't used up that big roll I bought from the grocery four years ago.

I buy mine in a roll at the grocery store. 18" x 33 yds - it lasts me years!! I used to use it in the kitchen before I bought my foodsaver 14 years ago - now it stays in my sewing room!
