won't ever have to buy any more...box contained 43lbs of paper! Love it though.

(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!)

I guess I should pass along my all-time favorite thing for
freezer paper. Buy a roll, find a guy with a bandsaw---cut
through the whole roll into sizes you use. for applique', you
just need a small roll. cut 8 1/2" (for printer)-5 1/2"-
3 1/2". so much easier than handling a big roll and wasting
so much when you only need a small piece. great for making vines on borders. store the rolls back in the box. Reynolds is the best brand. elaine

Look on the bottom shelf at the grocery store. You can print patterns on the sheets with a ink jet printer. Do not use a lazer printer as it will melt the wax all over the printer. Just be sure to put the paper in so it prints on the dull side not on the waxed side. You should be able to purchase the sheets at any quilt for fabric shop.
