Which FP are you using? http://www.cjenkinscompany.com sells freezer paper 8.5" X 11" also sells fabric sheets the same size. I use both all the time. Worked in my HP and Epson and now in my Canon printer. |
thanks for all of this information on freezer paper

Bronny, you can stop looking in the supermarkets here for freezer paper. I have been looking for 5 years and no luck. I did a web search for Reynolds and managed to buy some here in Australia for a reasonable price. eBay sometimes have it also. Sometimes if I'm shopping for fabric in the US, I add it to my order.

Is there a reason for using freezer paper? I paper piece and simply use regular printer paper (20 lb weight). It's cheap enough and much easier to remove than f.p. A tip I learned from my quilt teacher, if you spritz the paper a little before tearing paper off, it comes out much easier. It can be a little messy because it's wet but easier on the hands. Also, I use 1.5 mm stitch length which perforates the paper well. This works for me anyway.

I am sorry but I don't understand how too do this! I have had a bad day today but I read and read and it makes no sense to me. I thought, WELL I don't know what I thought. I can't figure out how you can lay the template of paper down and sew next too the line.
