I too just read the blog on sq in a sq.....I got tired just reading/ looking at pics.....all that work for one square!!!!!! What happened to starting from center square, do math or follow pattern for cutting other squares and cutting them diagonally and building on that center????? That how I do mine, no paper, glue, etc. btw.....I read her " little" life story on blog.....and like most of the blogs out there...lots of me, my, I...............
sigh ...thank you!!!also in the "basic quilting" of points & seams. it's also just plain basic careful sewing. no videos required.

While this tiny amount of shrinkage may not matter to most of us, let's remember that Sharon Schamber is on the Autism spectrum, which IMO affects her perspective. Being so precise has helped her win many awards, and she (and her daughter) are simply sharing their experience. While I am not concerned about this tiny bit of shrinkage in freezer paper, I won't fault either of them for sharing. Different isn't wrong.

Onebyone, are you saying you use parchment paper that one would use for baking? I'm looking for a more economical way to begin paper piecing but I want the paper to be able to go through the printer I always buy it in the roll form, but it would be really nice to have it in precut sheets.
