this is what i use. you can adjust the size to your quilt block.
it's a stand alone program so you don't need EQ to run it.

DO NOT put freezer paper sheets in a laser printer. The laser will melt the wax and ruin the printer. Freezer paper will work fine in an ink jet printer. I find it's better to print with light blue or gray on thin paper, it doesn't tend to smear as thin paper won't absorb as much as regular paper.

I use Kabnet Wax deli papers for all my foundation piecing (it's thin like tracing paper, easy to see through, white, and non-waxy). After cutting it to 8 1/2" x 11" with an old rotary cutter I just send them through my printer, no stabilizing paper needed (I feed them in one at a time). I never thought to use them for quilting designs though... it's a great idea and that will be next on my list to try. Thanks!

If the papers do separate in the printer, you may not be able to get the pieces of tissue out and ruin your printer. If it does go thru, I'm thinking the pressure from the roller (and heat if you have a laser printer) will permanantly fuse the two pieces together.

this is the kind I also use...been using these for years! using a microtex 70 needle and 50wt thread and it is like magic removing the paper!

I want to try the press and seal. Can't wait to see how it works!!! :) Thanks for sharing this.

Press n Seal does work great except that after using it for a while, it started to gum up my machine and hopping foot. That's why I switched to tissue paper.

I have used tracing paper in printer for founatation-pieced blocks. For quilting shapes I iron on freezer paper shapes and can reuse them a few times.
