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!
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!
@@sharongallant2600 you can get it from both! I bought a HUGE roll from Walmart about four years ago and I still have it. Reynolds makes it (the same company that makes foil and saran wrap) and it will say on the side of the box "great for crafts too" with a picture of a pencil, glue, scissors, etc.
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.
If you want to do this on a quilt you want to use and for it to last a while use fabric paint or acrylic with fabric medium. Oil paint will not bleed since it is oil based but it will erode your fabric given a long enough time. Also it takes a few days to dry since oil evaporates more slowly, this small amount might not be noticeable but err on the side of caution
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.
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.
Hi Jean Hunter. If you dont mind me helping you. Have you tried Amazon wherever in the world you may be, Amazon has Reynolds Freezer paper on line. Hope this helps. Have a great day. 👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗

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

doesn't the plastic of the shinny side stick to your iron?
@@VeeVeeVeeV Duh! Why didn't I think of that? Thanks!

You can also use freezer paper to make your own t shirt designs
what is the sewing machine your using?

You can also use freezer paper for paper piecing
This I want to learn.
How do you set the oil pastel to the cloth? And what about washing?
Good demo for a beginner
Free triangle quilt patterns
Yes it’s true, quilters saved freezer paper.
Would be nice to see the finished quilt using this. The link is broken.

Hi I’m in Australia and can’t find any freezer paper in our grocery store. Any idea where I can get this
Amazon?
Yes it’s good
If using this method in a quilt, does the "paint" bleed??
If you want to do this on a quilt you want to use and for it to last a while use fabric paint or acrylic with fabric medium.

In India we get freezer paper.

Is that paint permanent? Will it hold up to washings in a quilt? Good ideas!
Oil base paint is permanent .
Wondering if there is a product that should go over the painted piece to protect the paint during washing?
mod podge for fabric.
I'm finding it difficult finding freezer paper.

What a messy job, I don't know what comes out of it. I had to turn it off, sorry
You know,in all honesty
I heard about threats to stop making freezerpaper. Major uproar from quilters!
Doesnt help at all the first demo you did... it's not complete and don't have the magazine.
ok
