Great tutorial, but word of caution. Freezer paper can only go through an inkjet printer. Do not put freezer paper into a laser printer.
Yes - I should have mentioned that! D'oh!
@@KateBerggren if it’s an inkjet printer yes. I wouldn’t put it through a laser printer. Inkjets apply ink without heating it. Laser printers fuse toner onto the paper with heat.
Such an important tip!
Great tutorial, this gives me confidence to try FPP. Thank you!
Gracias muy educativo. Voy a probarlo. Parece fácil, se que hay que probar. ❤❤❤❤❤
I made the wife a 'light box', empty wine carton, plexiglass large enough to cover top & stay, small lamp. Plact lamp inside box, cut hole for cord, plug it in, lay pattern on top of plexiglass and freezer paper on top of pattern. Use ruler to keep lines straight. A little more prep work, useful when a printer is not in the picture. Put on some music and enjoy the process, she does.
DIY genius alert! Your wife must be loving the new light box setup.
Becca! This is a beautifully presented tutorial and I love the freezer paper FPP... hence FP FPP. Your sample even showed how you oculd fussy cut in placement of that first one. The colors and placement were perfect.
When I use freezer paper or bondaweb I place a piece of baking parchment over the work to protect the iron. This is a brilliant tutorial thank you for sharing this 👍❤️
Great tip!
Best FPP tutorial I’ve ever seen with freezer paper… and I’ve watched dozens! Most demonstrators do not provide such excellent explanations. For the first time I see the advantage to using freezer paper! Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Great technique!
One way to efficiently use fabric is to cut oversized pieces that fit comfortably within the allotted space + seam allowance. I use ~1/4-1/2" upsize. A corner clipper ruler is your friend as it cuts with seam allowances, and will help you size the triangle if you are uncomfortable with quilter's math. I find that a hot hemmer makes the perfect creasing tool. If you have one, give it a try.
TSP - Trim, Sew, Press 😃 Makes it so easy to remember the process. Thank you, great tutorial
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! I finally tried this method and wow! This was faster and less bulk! Thank you.
You're welcome!
You are a great instructor, clear, concise, poised, step by step instructions.
Wow, thank you!
I love freezer paper! Can use it several times before changing to a new one!
Yes you can! I did all 12 of my blocks for the Quiltmas quilt from ONE piece of freezer paper!
I have to agree. I will definitely do it this way. Great instructions. Excellent teacher.
I’ve been using freezer paper when doing pp. I just love it. I hate pulling off paper. I always glue fabric 1 or any very small sections.
Freezer Paper makes FPP that much more enjoyable!
Very good video Becca! Great tutorial!
Thank you! Great demonstration!
Great tutorial Becca, thanks so much for sharing. Never tried FPP, but on top of the list for the New Year.
Thanks for showing this way Becca. This method makes sense to my brain.
YAY!! I've been waiting for this one. Great Job!
Hope you like it!
FANTASTIC IDEA FOR FREEZER PAPER! 🎉❤🎉
Makes perfect sense. THANK YOU for the great tutorial❣️
Embrace the waste ❤️❤️😝 love it. It’s a mantra I need to adopt! Thanks Becca for another great video 😁
Really clever! Love how it’s reusable
I love not having to change my stitch length. This is a great method, thansk for sharig it.
Same! And, not having to tear away the paper is fun, too!
Thank you! Wonderful demonstration.
You did a great job of explaining and demonstrating this process. Thank you!
This is awesome for the easier blocks!! I love Fpp but hate ripping paper too!! Thanks Becca!! ❤️
Excellent demo/tutorial, Becca! 👏 👏 👏 👏
Thank you! 😃
Such great ideas! Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Outstanding demo! Freezer paper FPP is my absolute favorite way to paper piece.
Great tutorial. Very clear instructions and the block came out great! Thanks. 🎉
Glad it helped!
Phenomenal tutorial Becca!!!
thank you!
I have tried this method and I do love it.
Excellent demo, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Clear, concise directions. Great job as an instructor 👏
I appreciate that!
Thanks Becca for sharing this. I think I saw one other person do this and it appears to me to be the best way since you don’t have to tear the paper off. Saves printing lots and lots of copies of the pattern! Can’t wait to I’ve this a try. I love to do FPP. You have a better chance of getting a perfectly square block and no points getting lost in the process.
Love your tutorial! If you have an 'edge foot" use that to ride right along the edge of the paper. So easy. Most machine brands have one. For Bernina its #10, #10C or #10D. Thank you for a great tutorial!
Great tip!
Wow Becca! That’s a very cool way to do FPP!! TY for sharing! I just love your teaching style!!
Thanks so much!
You are such a good teacher. Love the fussy cut flower!
Thank you so much!
Hi Becca I loved your tutorial. Im going to use freezer paper.
I never tried FPP, but I’ve used freezer paper to trace patterns for garments, just iron on fabric for cutting. Thanks for the paper link. I have never seen this before
Freezer paper can be used for SOOOO many things!
Thank you for this video!
You are so welcome! Hope it was helpful!
What a great video! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this tutorial. Great job!
😘😘😘
I’m a newbie to FPP and to your channel. You are an excellent teacher and I’m going to give this a try. Thank You Becca
Thanks, will give this a try.
Have fun!
Great Tutorial, thanks for sharing.
You are welcome!
Love FPP and this video is wonderful. Will definitely use freezer paper on next project.
Wonderful!
Thank you for this tutorial. I just received a pkg of 6” sheets in the mail today!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
Great demo. Like the pace you use. Easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! I had given up on the paper piecing idea a while ago. For some reason, I clicked on your tutorial for my nightmare subject today and voila - the solution! Thanks for taking the time to patiently show us your method and validate that there is more than one way to do things in this craft. Super duper!
Glad I could help!
Excellent tutorial! Keep up the good work😊
Thank you! 😊
This helped a lot- thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
This is a great video for FPP. I’ve heard many people talk about it but never quite understood when it came to not stitching through the paper. My brain couldn’t grasp it without seeing it. It makes perfect sense now. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Loved your tutorial, am watching again
Wonderful! Thank you!!
Muchas gracias. Saludos desde México.
I can't wait to give this a go! I've always wanted to try it but thought it was a bit meh, too complicated but you explained it so clearly, I am super excited to do it! Thank you Becca ❤❤
You can do it!
This is how I do it too! I’ve only tried simple blocks like a circle of geese. But I like this method better than sewing through the paper. Thanks for this video.
Great tutorial and I will add this to my bucket list by purchasing freezer paper cuts asap. A new year is coming and plenty of fabric is available to start a project. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy New Year.
Happy new year!
Ok... gonna try it out. Thanks. You're my new favorite quilt content creator.❤❤
Wow, thank you!
Someday I’m going to give this a try. I’m not ready to venture into yet another new skill. I will remember to reference your video when the time comes. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to you & yours. 👍❤️😊
Merry Christmas!
I love this method of paper piecing. Your teaching skill is outstandong.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I think I've finally got it.
Glad I could help!
Fantastic! I just discovered your videos, and I'm am hooked! I've been binge watching your videos at night. You are so well spoke. So clear in your instructions. So enthusiastic about what you're doing! Makes me want to join you! Woohoo! But for the time being, I shall live vicariously through you. 😊 Thanks for sharing your experience and quilt time.
Awww, thank you Tammy!!
Great video. Thank you for using patterned fabric, makes it easier to get in my head right sides together, etc.
You are so welcome!
Fantastic. I’m also very impressed with the professionalism of your videos. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much!
Enjoyed this instructional video Becca! 😊thanks
Thanks 🙏🏻
I had heard of this but had never tried it. Thanks, I'll give it a try now! ❤
Please do - I find the freezer paper technique makes FPP a little more enjoyable!
Beautiful block, great tutorial 😊
Thanks so much 😊
Love the technique!
So glad!
You have such a great manner for teaching. Thanks for this video. It will make my project much easier.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial. Sure looks easier than sewing on the paper and then having to get the paper off. Thanks. I loved the block. The fabric you picked was great.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent tutorial. I found this after I mastered had it. But you make it very clear.
Great to hear!
Great tutorial. I've always wondered about using freezer paper
You should!
My favorite way to fpp! No ripping away paper😊
Same here!
I enjoyed your video and have some paper pieced projects planned. Thanks
Wonderful!
Thank you for an excellent FPP tutorial. I've also watched a lot of FPP vlogs but yours is the best, and easiest to understand. 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
Great Video and tutorial. I'm new to quilting and I understood this and know I can do this following the methods you outlined. Love you workroom!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you sew much for this amazing tutorial. I have a Tall Tales FPP pattern I've been dying to make, but was too intimidated - Your freezer paper method is a game changer!!! Already ordered my freezer paper and can't wait to try this out.
I can't wait to see your finish!
Excellent tutorial You are a very precise instructor and you made it look so easy Thank you best tutorial ever😊
You're very welcome!
Di from sister chicks sent me. I love this method. I will try for a future FPP project.
Great!
What a fantastic method, I’m sure I will have to watch your videos a couple of times before I get the rhythm of all the steps. LoL But I really like this method, makes the the quilt look so crisp. Can’t wait to try this. Thank You so much for sharing your video with all of us. I am a new subscriber. Love your channel, you make it look easy.
You're quite welcome, Artie! Rumor has it Ian from the Off Kilter Crafter is going to do an in-depth FPP 101 video before the end of the year!
4:45 El mejor tutorial que he visto sobre esta técnica.
I found EPP very confusing and daunting before your video. Your way of accomplishing this is so much more clear and makes so much more sense. Thank goodness you made this video or I may never have wanted to try this new skill. Thank you so much and my hope is that this method can be used for ALL projects with FPP. P.S. Your voice is so soothing that I could listen to you all day! I plan on watching all of your previous videos and can’t wait to learn new skills from you. 😊
Aww, thanks for the compliments Jane! My friend, Ian, is posting a more in-depth tutorial on FPP. Perhaps this video - combined with his (which launches this weekend) - will give you the courage to try FPP!
@@sewbecca I already have Ian on my calendar 📅 and we’re even in the same time zone, TX and WI. I love that you’re friends and I like watching both of you create, so when I saw that you both had FPP airing a few days apart, I knew they would compliment each other nicely. So sweet that you support each other and your channels. Thank you for your sweet reply. Keep doing what you do because you do it so well. From your beautiful smile to the talent down to the tips of your toes. Friends, Jane
Great tutorial Becca, thx for sharing your excellent skills as I prepare for PMQ 2024
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this I bought two of these type patterns and didn't know how to start it.
You are so welcome!
Oh, this would be an amazing way to make random scrappy patchwork in the shape of a clothing pattern too! Just cut out the shapes from this paper (well, several pieces of the paper, since it's not very wide) and then just fill it up from roughly the centre with fabric scraps. I'm planning to make a jacket in this way, and my initial thought was to just wing it until I have a big enough patchwork to cut to shape. This will enable me to pre-plan some shapes and fabric placements, and also limit waste!
Great idea!
Really like FPP but haven't ever used freezer paper. Now I will give it a try. Thank!
You should!
This is so cool. I am a newer quilter, so I just love learning new ( new to me) techniques.
You demonstrate and explain very well. You make this seem easier than I expected. Thank you for sharing this with us.😊❤
You are so welcome!
Excellent. Love this idea. I hated peeling all that paper off.
Me too!
Really genius Becca. Thank you so much. It highlighted so many things for me as a beginner quilter who really wants to do an economy block quilt. I wanted to use a couple of charm packs. Now that I see the waste, I realize to use the amount that I have I can't do FPP. I would require a layer cake. Things a beginning quilter can't visualize. I've done wool applique, so I love freezer paper and think it is the best!! I appreciate your warning me off of over-generalizing the method. Happy Holidays!
Unfortunately, FPP does produce some waste. There are methods you can take to really minimize it, but the thought process really just completely causes me to freeze up. I try not to overthink it and just go with the flow!
Great video! I have heard about not using paper and was hesitant to try. After watching your video with great details, i think I can attempt it. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial. Training muscle memory... fpp, tried once, not my friend. LOL, maybe another time. Tfs, hugs, Chel 🌸
My thought is do what makes you happy! If FPP isn’t it, there are plenty of other things to sew!!
Lovely block tutorial Becca!
Dont we just love that freezer paper?!!!
I *love* freezer paper!!
Love freezer paper piecing
Me too - it's definitely my go to if I'm going to do some FPP!
To get less waste you could in this case also start with a smaller square, still covering the seam allowance and cut the triangles from squares divided diagonally. Interesting method!
Absolutely!
Great tutorial, Becca!!!! Have never seen this FPP technique before!!
Maybe we can do a Freezer Paper FPP project this weekend!
@@sewbecca I have an unfinished FPP, but would welcome the opportunity to do one with you!
@@MaryTheCraftyPanda let’s do it! I have one on my bucket list - FPP weekend!
@@sewbecca you’re on!!!
You're awesome!
Great way to do FPP! I’ve done a few quilts with the paper templates, and it’s so hard to take off the paper in tight corners. Can’t wait to try it with freezer paper.
Exactly! I hope it works out nicely for you!
Genius!!
I never saw the need for paper piecing until now and just how simple it is to get perfect designs every time! I was planning to get some just for applique quilts and now that I've seen the benefits, I'll be buying freezer Paper in larger quantities now! Thank You, Becca!
I'm glad you found this helpful!
@@sewbecca Yes, thank you very much!
