i dont think wax paper is what we use--non stick baking paper or an applique mat is what i use--if you sew on the machine use your needle down it keeps it steady as you turn corners

so right! HB Lite keeps the "goo" down to a minimum. I also found a handy little bottle of heaven at my quilt store - it's called "all purpose sewers aid"... a teeny little bottle, 1/2 ounce. Just a drop now and again on your needle helps with the stickiness.

Parchment paper, from the grocery store, is awesome and works as good as an expensive pressing sheet.
