Terrific method! I took a class on this method years ago, but couldn't remember just how to do it. Your instructions are very clear and the photos are great too! Thanks for taking the time to post such a great tut.

Thanks for the compliments ladies, I would love to see any attempts at this method and hear feedback on it if you have tried it for the first time! I just adore this method of paper piecing and wonder if others will like it as much as I do.

Thank you so much, sounds much easier than regular paper piecing or foundation piecing. Great lesson.

Thanks for a wonderful tutorial. I have used this method but the one I used had the outer seam allowance still on the freezer paper. I think your way is better, when sewing the block sections together= there's no freezer paper in the way.

Hi, I like this method very much. I love paper piecing, but taking the paper off is the part I dislike. do you know how to change a normal pattern into a paper piecing pattern? PM me please if you can be of help with this.

Thank you for this tute. (I had wondered if using freezer paper would work in a printer.) I'm going to use this for applique patterns, too! Happy Dance :)

Three things. One: After you fold the freezer paper back to add the next fabric, use the "Add-a-Quarter" ruler (or any other ruler) to cut off the extra fabric beyond the 1/4 inch seam allowance. Then when you add the next piece, you line it up with that edge of fabric: no need to trim again and less fabric wasted.
Two: You can take that piece of freezer paper off at the end and reuse it. Many times. A friend used hers twenty times. What a saving of paper! And time!
Three: When folding the freezer paper, lay a ruler on the line to be folded and use the back of a seam ripper to "score" it on the line. Some people use an index card or such to help with the folding, but scoring lightly with the back side of a seam ripper and a ruler is so much more accurate. Another time saver when using your paper many times = You don't have to score it again.

I found some writing tablets at Walmart. The paper has lines but is quite thin and works great for paper piecing. The price per tablet was $1.00 and has about 50 sheets. It goes through the printer very easily and tears away without much problem.
