Forgot to say thereis special paper that the wax is thicker and doesn`t gum it your printer.
She already had our patterns printed but I`ve ordered some.
Will get it at our next guid meeting so will let you know the brand.
I think it was about 10 canadian for I think 30 sheets.Any pattern can be adapted.Your suppose to be able to use your pattern pices over and over but my first one I couldn`t as I sewd a little on the paper.

I love this crane. My son loves to fold the paper ones. I'll have to figure this one out so I can make him a special quilt. Thank you for sharing.

Yes with freezer paper you can use the pattern pieces several times. The MC I made I was able to use them about 8 times before they quit sticking to the fabric. I just buy freezer paper at the grocery store and make my pattern pieces by taking my traditional paper pattern (photocopy) and several layers of freezer paper. I stack them up, shiny side up with paper on top. Hit the stack a couple of places with the tip of my iron. This sticks them all together. Then I take the pile to my sewing machine and sew them with no thread in the needle. I then mark my freezer paper pieces with the numbering order and also like to put a note for which fabric I am putting on that piece. Works great.

What is this method called?

I think that must be where I got it, cause I have it printed out downstairs in my notebook. I did a small wall hanging for my mom with irises on it using this method. (No I don't have a pic, darn it, I'm just learning to use a digital camera!)

The teacher said the freezer paper ypu buy in the grocery store will eventualy gum up your printer. The ones from the qyuilt store won`t.
Teacher saw a quilt made with 80 birds. She got to 30 and sais enough on to other things and it is now a wall hanging which I din`t see as shr din`t feel like taking it down. Maybe will show it at a guild meeting or our show in the spring.
Need to remember camera for our guild meet.

If gumming up the printer is an issue, you could iron a 1/4" section on the top of the freezer paper to a piece of copy paper and run them through your printer together :wink:
