uhhh, am I the only person in the world who doesn't know WHAT you do with freezer paper? Like the vines on borders -- and printing designs on the dull side of the freezer paper: do you then iron it onto fabric somehow, or what?
Sorry for no doubt stupid question but real newbie here.
Thanks for your patience.
Red faced :o

Yes, the you iron the shiny side to the wrong side of your material for paper or foundation piecing. I also iron it to the right side of my material and do what is called picture piecing. Try going to www.englanddesign.com/ and look at some of her work and patterns. They are really neat. I have made several for wall hanging gifts and plan to make many more.

Okay, thank you. I just couldn't imagine what freezer paper could be used for in sewing. It'll be a whole other aspect of this wonderful folk art to explore.
Wow, that picture piecing is incredible! My hat's off to you for doing it - and for taking your time to answer my elementary question. Thanks again.
