I just discovered this from Quilt N Bee. It should be a good alternative for those who have trouble tearing away the paper.

I am so intimidated by PP that I thought the title of your post was "No tear" as in crying tears. Just thought I would share. LOL I am going to take a look at the link.

I've been using this method for paperpiecing for several years. The tutorial that helped me the most was this one: http://www.twiddletails.com/store/in...age=page&id=21

There are several tutorials on paperpiecing with freezer paper, but this one clicked for me. Another thing I discovered that was especially helpful was the letter-size freezer paper from C. Jenkins so you can skip the step in the youtube video where she sews the outline through the paper. It goes through my printer with no jams at all. The website is http://www.cjenkinscompany.com

Kind of an interesting technique, though it seems a bit fussy to me??. I know I'd stitch onto the paper and would have to go much slower than stitching on the line like I do now. I like the leave in stabilizers and sheets that you can print out, stitch on the line and then leave in as they're washable. They're not cheap, however. So, typically I still use cheapo paper and rip it out carefully while watching t.v.

I would not ever PP again if I had to sit there and tear paper off my blocks. I use a thin interfacing that I iron on to freezer paper and it goes right through my printer. You can reuse the freezer paper many times. The interfacing stays with your block and does not add any bulkiness.

Great idea! I don't think she mentioned in the video but to not distort the design you would need to fold on inside edge of the line.

Thank you for posting this, very interesting! I love paper piecing and don't mind tearing off the paper, but this is a great alternative. I will try it.

Well thats a new method to me, love it! I avoid paper piecing because of all the ripping.
