Ok am I doing something wrong or did I buy the wrong kind????? I wanted to make a label by printing on my muslin...so I used the bubble jet ect. dried/then went to iron onto the freezer paper so I could run it through the paper, and nope the material wont stick to the freezer paper....I have used freezer paper yrs ago with no problem, so whats up with that? :(

The freezer paper I use is:Reynolds Freezer Paper (one side is plastic coated) It is in blue packaging and I purchase it in the baggies, waxed paper, sandwich bags, foil, etc. Section of the grocery store.

Thanks, the stuff I have is from Safeway and had the shiny side, hummmm don't know y it won't work...will try another brand I guess....
|
Sometimes the fabric may have alot of sizing on it , and it will not adhere to the freezer paper. Check it out by taking a piece of scrap fabric that has been washed and see if it holds.
|
Ok will try that. Thanks

make sure you bought 'freezer paper' in the big blue box and not 'wax paper...wax paper will not work-is a totally different product-- use a regular dry iron on a cotton setting (if your fabric is cotton) and press the shiny (plastic) side of the freezer paper to the fabric.

if you have had the paper for a while it may have lost some of the whatever that makes it stick. That is the problem I had with mine. Had used it some time ago, but would not stick to the mat. no matter what i did.

I just bought a box of Reynolds Freezer Paper to use for sewing. Not sure what Ill use it for...although, I just cut out some patterns using it. That was cool. I also put the date on the box...just curious on how long one of those big boxes will last me. LOL

Kind of related to your subject ... I had a heck of a time trying to get the freezer paper and muslin through the printer a while back ... it kept jamming. Then I figured out how to set the printer for thick paper and it worked beautifully. I think most printers have this feature.
