JSNOMORE,
Do you do this with just one layer of freezer paper? Is this what others talk about and then say they use two or three layers? Thank you! I've been wanting to try this method and your instructions are very clear.

Next iron it to your fabric shiny side down. I then cut out my design 1/4" larger than the freezer paper. Next I use liquid starch and water and apply it to the edges and then fold them over the freezer paper and iron with my clover mini iron. This will set the edges so that when you remove the freezer paper your applique has finished edges that you just need to sew down. Also I don't pin my applique in place I use elmers glue. Just a tiny dot and then iron and it will stay in place. the glue washes right out when you are finished. Hope this helps
