Where it from?

Can i use it for quilting :lol: :roll: :lol: ;)
Thanks

I'm not sure what you would use it for in quilting. You can't iron it or the wax will transfer to your fabric. Will be interesting to see if there is a use for it. :)

Yes, you can use it in quilting. make labels buy using it as use as a stiffener while writing on the label, just iron to wrong side of fabric and then when finished just pull it off, also can be used for making hexagons, iron to wrong side of fabric and cut around, baste and then remove paper, it does not leave a residue on the fabric at all :)

As I recall, you can iron sheets of wax paper together to make bigger pieces. Overlap an inch or two to do this, and make sure your iron isn't too hot. Just touch the tip or side of the iron along the seamline.

You can use a permanent Sharpie pen to trace on wax paper.

For quilting, freezer paper always seems to be preferable to wax paper. The only thing I can think of is that wax paper is easier to use for tracing, so you could possibly prefer to use it for tracing an applique pattern in its entirety (to be used later for correct placement, not for the individual applique pieces). However, you would then want to put a piece of white paper behind it so your lines show up when you use it for applique placement. I have no problem using freezer paper to trace patterns; although it is easier to trace on freezer paper with backlighting, I can do it without backlighting too.

You could probably use freezer paper in the same way as vellum can be used -- for tracings. For example, you can trace a quilting pattern onto wax paper or vellum (using a permanent Sharpie marker so you are sure nothing transfers to fabric) and then pin it over your top to see if you like the effect and that the pattern fits within your block.

I wonder what it would do to your needle? Gum it up or work as a lubricant?

Yep...you can trace patterns off on wax paper using a marker and paper piece w/it...keep stitch length short...and, works great..also great for tracing too:)For those antique family quilt patterns you want to recreate:)I use mine for choc fudge:)LOL

opps I meant freezer paper, sorry about that, :oops:

You can use either wax paper or freezer paper for chocolate fudge!

Paper pieced patterns are always fun!
