Quilting with Freezer Paper 

I love working with Freezer paper in my sewing and crafting. I use freezer paper with my patterns that I use frequently. I just iron in onto the back of pattern piece. It extend the life of my pattern. I sew for my grandkids and the oldest who turns 11 at the end of the month. I’ve been teaching her how to sew.

I iron the freezer paper on the back of fabrics. Draw a seam line around the paper, and cut out pieces with 1/4" seam lines. I've done this for over20 years and find it the only way to do it!

I use your turn under method similarly, but I double the strength of my freezer paper by ironing two sheets together first. This is my favorite method for turning under applique!

How fun to whatch this. I love to quilt and this gives me some new ideas. Thank you so much. Maxie Gunderson

I use this method, but with the freezer paper turned upside down. I pin the freezer-paper template paper side to the wrong side of the fabric. I skip the starch and use a tiny "applique" iron to fuse the fabric edges to the plastic side of the freezer paper. It works beautifully, and I dont have to mess around with messy starch or fuzzy Q-tips. Just a variation that saves a step.

I use it for my meat and my crafts ☺️💖. I've cut it down and used it in a printer, for quilting or piecing, for wood (print on shiny side and rub it onto a wood piece), I just love the stuff!

The only way I have ever used it in quilting is to print to it; two ways: one is where you print using an inkjet printer to the plastic side, with your image reversed and then iron it to your fabric as something you intend to stitch; the other way is print to it on either side of it, with the image the correct way and use paper tape to and pins attach to your fabric, using that to sew through and pull away after, but you need a short stitch length to pull it clean away after machining it.

I think they make freezer paper that is card stock weight. It’s is very good for so many things in the craft room.

You can also use freezer paper to make your own t shirt designs

what is the sewing machine your using?

Yes it’s true, quilters saved freezer paper.

You can also use freezer paper for paper piecing

Good demo for a beginner

UPDATED :Oh, I am so sorry, I see now your entire Quilters Newsletter was closed down. I am lucky then my mom has old copies. I hope all involved continued on in their quilting journeys. ORIGINAL COMMENT: As a artist of 40+ years and a quilter of less than 1 month ... this your instruction process is herky-jerky at best. Mentioning the first use was as a pos/neg stencil would of made the rest of the meandering instructions easier to follow. There was much more than "crack the crusty part off" to be said about using the oil paint art sticks, like their permanence on different surfaces, washability, etc. I don't say any of this to be critical - but this video was prefaced as being "for the very basics of using freezer paper". Best wishes for the future videos, we all learn and grow from our foibles.

Yes it’s good

How do you set the oil pastel to the cloth? And what about washing?

Anyone know how to set the Artstik pigment...Does it set with heat?. What about laundry. I am on just after halfway watching but at the point of using the Artstik this should be addressed. After all quilts get washed.

Would be nice to see the finished quilt using this. The link is broken.

great ideas..will try

Learning good showing us, how long with iron ?? too seal applique .Thanks

Is that paint permanent? Will it hold up to washings in a quilt? Good ideas!

If using this method in a quilt, does the "paint" bleed??

Hi I’m in Australia and can’t find any freezer paper in our grocery store. Any idea where I can get this

In India we get freezer paper.

Wondering if there is a product that should go over the painted piece to protect the paint during washing?

You know,in all honesty

ok

What a messy job, I don't know what comes out of it. I had to turn it off, sorry

You don’t teach by ignoring your students and talking to each other.
