Finally someone who uses freezer paper properly! No messy glues or starch. I am hand piecing together an intricate portrait quilt. Each piece is turned under since I do not like raw edges. This method makes the turning under of sharp edges and tight curves possible. I use a dab of No Fray on the really dodgy areas with barely enough seam allowance. I find that my hand stitching is much faster since the freezer paper gives some structure and firmness to the pieces as I stitch. I also plan to reuse my pattern pieces since I can easily pull out the paper by loosening the wax paper away with a painting knife.

Great video. I like the idea of using the shiny side and iron rather than glue or starch. Much tidier and quicker, too. Thanks!

You make it look so easy., I’m encouraged to try. Your fabrics is beautiful.

Thank you. Concise instructions. Can’t wait to watch more since I’m new

Hello Betsy thank you for your kind words. So glad my videos are helpful to you. 😊

Thank you for the lovely idea & Great Job !!

Just found you and subscribed! Thanks, I am sure to learn a lot!

this is my first exposure to having the sticky side of the paper 'up'

that is a new and interesting way of using freeser paper

Thank you for doing a video on the freezer paper technique. Thing is, I just bought wax paper to save a few coins but I am going back to get freezer paper instead because I detect a slight difference based on the wax needs to be only on one side (freezer paper) versus both sides (wax paper) and I don't won't wax build-up on my iron. I also like the cathedral window pin cushion.

Thank you for sharing this. I enjoyed the ideas you showed us.

Nice job can you show us more shapes please

So what about the freezer paper, how do you get that out without distorting the piece?? Thank you.

Tazz Summers after you’re finished you remove the pins and pull. The paper out and re-press

I can't find anything called freezer paper. Could it be wax or parchment. Thank you

Hi Cindy Freezer paper is different to wax or parchment paper. It has a shinny side and a paper side. The shinny side can be ironed on to fabric and then pulled off without any residue. You can buy it from quilt stores or maybe your local supermarket.

If you spray that with starch, it will hold better when ironing it

Hi Maria Thanks for the comment but after using the starch method for some of my earlier applique quilts, I find I like to avoid using it at all in my quilts. I find a spritz of water does just as good a job. I do not have a problem with the fabric holding at all. The freezer paper is a great stabilizer keeping everything in place while stitching. All that is left in my quilt is fabric. No need to wash any forgien substances out. Everyone has their own way of doing things. Happy Stitching Sharon
