Don't quite know how your using Freezer Paper for paper piecing. I only use it for English paper piecing, but I'm always interested in something new. We were needing some freezer paper at our small group , so I went to Wal-Mart & they didn't even carry it here. Somebody told me they would have it during hunting season. So I'm going to stock up as soon as I find some.

OK tried ironing just a narrow strip of the top of a slightly smaller sheet of FP to a normal piece of paper and it went thru just fine...so far! 32 more to go! If there are other ways I'm a good learner! I'd suggest using 25% rag vellum - sold by office depot was the cheapest when I checked. Can get other from LQS. |
Please everybody, before questioning the use of freezer paper or suggesting other papers, please go to this website and see this tutorial!!! Then you'll know why!

Kitsie that's a fabulous sun!! Looking forward to seeing the whole thing.
Did you make the pattern yourself? I made one almost exactly like that, for some blocks I sewed for the boomerang swap. |

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.
The quilt in my avatar was paper-pieced....a lot of it. Your avatar is beautiful, a job well done! |

Iron 2 sheets of freezer paper together, cut to size, then try printing. This is what Sharon Chamber does.
