When I do Freezer paper applique I use a washable glue stick to turn the seam allowances under/over the FP.
Easy Peasy ~ IMO.

I put a piece of scrap paper (like a torn out magazine page underneath my work area and just smear a dab of glue on the SA and turn it. Sometimes I rolled/pinch with my fingers, and sometimes I use a toothpick or stiletto to smooth out the turned SA before it goes dry. I originally took a class on Invisible Machine Applique and the instructor recommended Uhu glue sticks and the above method.

I tried the starch method, but just preferred the glue stick. Hope you find a method you like. =)

Good Luck!!

I love Magic Spray Sizing!

Woah, :shock: This is an awesome tutuorial! I am so going to try that with my next applique project! Now can't wait to explore the rest of the blog. Thanks!

Thanks for all the tips everyone. I assumed spray starch was the same but wasn’t sure (I had intended to spray into the lid). I also had absolutely no idea about vodka so that is something worth bearing in mind.

I will consider the glue method as I use glue for EPP but wanted something a little ‘cleaner’

My experience with the canned spray starch is, 1, it's expensive and 2, it doesn't go nearly as far as the concentrated does.

Also you can change how 'starchy' the liquid is. Heavy, medium and light. I use medium starch for tricky piecing projects.

I do exactly the same thing. Works great!

Maybe you were too late when you caught that, but you have a few minutes to edit your posts. Just click on "edit", make your corrections and click on "save".

Just getting this, my computer has been down a few days. Do you know anyone in the US military? They used to use starch in the big jugs quite a bit, especially the Marines. You might be able to get one of them to purchase for you from the military PX.

Thankyou... I don't know who first came up with the idea that there is starch in vodka but clearly they weren't paying attention in Chemistry class when they studied distillation nor in Biology class when they studied fermentation!
