What happened to starting from center square, do math or follow pattern for cutting other squares and cutting them diagonally and building on that center????? That how I do mine, no paper, glue, etc. btw.....I read her " little" life story on blog.....and like most of the blogs out there...lots of me, my, I...............
also in the "basic quilting" of points & seams. it's also just plain basic careful sewing. no videos required. |
I have used Reynolds freezer paper for years for applique,english paper piecing plus other kinds of paper piecing and I have made show quilts samples for quilt shops and taught classes and have never had a problem this is the first I ever heard this so will keep watch maybe something different with the new paper

Why do we poo poo every thing that might improve our work? I'm seeing a lot of criticism here, and don't understand why. Just take the tip or not. We don't have to be rude.

While this tiny amount of shrinkage may not matter to most of us, let's remember that Sharon Schamber is on the Autism spectrum, which IMO affects her perspective. Being so precise has helped her win many awards, and she (and her daughter) are simply sharing their experience. While I am not concerned about this tiny bit of shrinkage in freezer paper, I won't fault either of them for sharing. Different isn't wrong.

My only problem ever with freezer paper was when I got a piece wrong side up ans stuck to my iron! :(

Never heard of such a thing! Guess I will just have to keep on using my cheap stuff and worry about something else that is more important!:confused:

For show quilters it could be a big deal. It's easy to do a test and find out. I use the precut sheets of parchment because that is what I buy for cooking.
