[QUOTE=mom-6;5923216]The only thing I've used waxed paper for in relation to quilting is ironing over it to set crayon coloring on blocks. Works great!

The crayon colored blocks lasted for years until the background muslin gave up of old age and hard usage. Some of it had been done by my mother and her sister before my mom got married in the 30s and I finished it as a home ec project in the 60s. Retired to display only in the 90s and destroyed by fire when our house burned in 2000
I am sorry for your loss due to the house fire. Hopefully someone may have taken a photo of your mom's crayon colored block quilt. It could be a fun project to recreate it.
I began quilting 3 yrs. ago and have not heard about coloring blocks with crayons and setting the colors using wax paper.
Are the crayons a special fabric friendly type or a specific brand? I would love to try this. Thanks you!

Freezer paper would work better than wax paprer. Freezer paper can be ironed on and reused many times.
Not sure about ironing wax paper on a quilt. Will the wax transfer to the fabric?

do you have a glass company in your town? sometimes they will cut what you want for little or no cost. A sheetmetal shop can cut templates. I am lucky my brother owns a glass co and I work for a company that has a sheetmetal shop right thur the door of my office. I have tons and tons of templates, all I have to do is feed the sheetmetal man and he'll cut what I want

I saw a demo somewhere where the quilter "stitched" the quilting pattern onto several sheets of wax paper at a time using her sewing machine but with no thread in the needle, then using that pattern to pounce her pattern on her blocks. I've never seen anyone iron wax paper to a quilt. I'd be very afraid of residue.

I use Glad Press and Seal. It sticks to the quilt, and isn't too much trouble to peel off
after the design is sewn.

I don't think I would risk it....You know what they say...When in doubt.????

I often cut freezer paper to fit into the printer, attach fabric to the plastic side, and print labels for my quilts on the printer. Certainly not with waxed paper

I have printed off my labels using fabric ironed onto the freezer paper, but sometimes it didn't want to feed properly so I placed across the top (folded over the top) a piece of cellophane tape, with much success. I 'creased' the tape between my fingers to make a sharp edge. So I think you should have no problem with just the freezer paper cut down to 8 1/2 x 11 or 8 1/2 x 14 (legal). Good luck.

That's a great tip! I will use it a lot!! Thank you Tartan.

Around $4. Much cheaper that the special papers or stabilizers.
