where do you buy the sheets?

thanks

My last package was from a shop a couple of weeks ago. I have ordered on line, don't remember from where. Should be easy to find some.

You can buy it at your local grocery store, and Walmart always has it.

I have both but prefer the sheets I bought on-line a couple of years ago. The pad of FP I bought at a quilt shop (Jenkins?) was thrown in the trash. Once it was ironed on I couldn't get it off. Sometimes my local groceries don't carry the Reynolds FP so I bought a box of FP sheets from a restaurant supply place.
won't ever have to buy any more...box contained 43lbs of paper! Love it though.

I bought mine at the local grocery store too. I bought it 3 years ago and still have quite a bit left. I guess the only way it would be economical is if you PP or applique a lot. Then I could see buying a roll that big. Otherwise, I'm just going to stick with what I get from the grocery store.

I bought a big roll at Wal-Mart, it's by the foil and plastic wrap. This works fine for me.

I find freezer paper at our grocery store in the freezer/canning section.

I get mine at Walmart on the roll in the section where they have the wax paper and foil. They seem to be the cheapest around my area.

I usually by it at the groc. store, but Winn Dixie closed up and I was able to get a big butchers role and the holder for $5.00. DH puts up deer meat with it and We both use it in quilting. Will last a long time. But worth the 5.00 If I ever need another would probably by a big one again. I hate running out of any paper. TP esp. LOL

In Australia you by freezer paper (Reynolds) in rolls from a quilting store. Supermarkets haven't a clue what you are talking about. Haven't seen it in sheets anywhere though.

Which explains why I've not seen it anywhere - I have been looking - eager to try the process..might have to ask for it when I'm doing my next stash swap with my sister stitchers in the USA... - now there's a thought!!!
(I am certain that somewhere, in some supermarket someplace, that I cannot for the life of me, sometime in the past 6 months, I saw a roll of freezer paper - did I buy it then??? of course not... just like seeing a funky fabric and thinking that you'd go back later to pick it up and then finding the week later that it's vanished!)
