Yesterday I used a piece of freezer paper, ironed on the wrong side of my material to stabilize it, so I could write on it.
When I took the paper off I laid it on a book (not on purpose) and saw it was almost totally transparent....I am always looking for paper to trace cute or neat things in magazines or the newspaper for ideas...great art work there. So this freezer paper can be used after you have used it as a stabilizer. Yes I know I could buy tracing paper but I thought this might be a penny saver for some of us....hope someone will find this useful info......hugs SG

Wow. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

And look what you learned. Thanks for sharing.

I am always looking for more than one use out of things too. Thank you for posting this! Now if I can only remember this tip when I need it.

I use new freezer paper to trace patterns. I prefer to use it with a light box underneath, but it usually works fine even without a light box. I use it a lot for machine applique.

Thank you for this very helpful and frugal tip :D:D:D

Yea, I find remembering the great tips when I need them to be the hardest thing.

I don't like the feel of freezer paper once it's been ironed.

thanks for sharing the tip with us, we should start a thread for tips!!!

Here is the thread that I started while back
