Another adhesive that I obviously need. 😄 I recently got an "Add a Quarter" ruler, and it's proven to be a real time saver. These two products together will make for stress free FPP. Thanks!
You are so kind in the efforts you go to to help others. I have an ink jet printer, so I don't have the problems you talked about. Here in the UK, I could only buy the freezer paper online, and I had to buy 3 boxes to achieve a decent price. I have used it a few times and love it for the log cabins. I do find a thin metal ruler is best for creasing the lines as the plastic rulers are too thick to achieve an accurate line. I never thought of the rolling tool, so I will give that a go. Thank you, Mary. I really enjoy watching your tutorials.❤
New to me as well - and I was shocked at how well it worked. Make sure you let it dry completely before using it. It will feel like the back of fusible webbing - not tacky at all. Thanks for watching!
I agree! I love it! It's been difficult to find. Stewart's Sewing Machines in Mt. Zion IL is going to stock it if you'd like contact them and have them save one for you. You can go to their website and contact them directly if it's not yet listed: www.stewartssews.com
A tip when using sprays. Even outside or in a well ventilated space you can use a mask to decrease your chances of inhaling the spray. You can use a mask like the ones for sanding from the hardware store or a higher quality spray ventalator mask. I have a cute pink one. I use it when mixing dye powders for dyeing fabric and then thought i can use it for sprays too! Out lungs are important and worth protecting! A great investment.
I think it's a great product and I'm not sure why it's not advertised more. I purchased mine at Missouri Star Quilt Co either in their "Machine Shed" store or in the JC Penney store (can't remember which one), but I didn't see it available online for purchase. Thanks for watching!

Spray sounds great to use! What is cost for a spray can of Odif in figuring if more cost effective than freezer paper? Advantage would probably be less frustration in using spray than freezer paper :).
I really think it's a great option. As for price, a can of the Odif 808 is $9.99. when purchasing one package of freezer paper it's about 0.25 - 0.30 per page which means you can buy about 1 1/2 cans of the Odif Spray for the same price as one package of 50 sheets of freezer paper. I know I could spray more than 50 sheets using 1 1/2 cans of the spray AND the wear and tear on my copier is worth it all by itself. Thanks for commenting and for watching!
I couldn't get a good enough crease on the paper using the Hera Marker. I believe using the edge of a ruler and then folding it the traditional way works better if you don't have a tracing wheel. Thanks for watching!
Does anyone know about *Kate’s Applique Paper*? I got a large box 25 years ago, and I don’t know if they came out under another name, or just disappeared. A quilting daughter in San Francisco, and a paper engineer father (in Pennsylvania?) came together to rethink and vastly improve on freezer paper for quilters. It was thinner, stronger, and acid free. Perfect for foundation piecing, English Paper Piecing, applique, printing, and more. If anyone knows about this please reply. I think her name is Kate Louden (spelling?).
I'm sorry - I've never heard of that. My issue is printing it - the freezer paper just doesn't go through my printer easily. This is a better option for me. Thanks for watching!
I do prefer foundation piecing using regular paper as well, but this is a great option for those who would rather not pull off the pieces of paper when finished.

I like the scientific methods you use to compare products and methods. It works well for my style of learning.

I absolutely agree! A "must have"! Thanks for watching!
Love this video .. I’ve made a few blocks using freezer paper … love the process … thank you for a great video.
I had not heard of this product. Thanks for explaining its use so well!

This is definitely a game changer.

Love this! Sold out in several online stores so I’m asking my local quilt store to start carrying it.

This is a game changer for FPP! One of the reasons I don't like FPP is the removal of the paper afterwards.
I absolutely agree! Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Never heard of this product in the can!

Looks like this might be more difficult than paper foundation paper piecing?? Or more cumbersome? Which one wld you chose to use? Thanks!!❤
Personally I prefer the paper foundation piecing method, but many prefer the freezer paper method. I have used both.

What about a hera marker instead of the tracing wheel?
I may try that. I don’t have a project planned just yet though.

@@joyfulandmerryquilting ...Oh, good to know! Thank you very much. Enjoy your tutorials. Keep it up!
By pressing on the wool mat does that shorten the life of the freezer paper
The waxy side doesn't come in contact with the wool mat, so I don't believe it would have any effect on how long you can use it.
where do i buy odif 808 on line. even amazon does not sell it.
Contact Stewart’s Sewing Machines in Mt. Zion IL. They can order it for you but I believe they have it in stock.

What if you pressed on a silicone mat instead of wool?
I haven't tried that. Thanks for the suggestion!
👍

I buy newspaper paper to do paper piecing. I get 100 sheets for around $10.00. I do tiny blocks so i am stitking with the paper
I do prefer foundation piecing using regular paper as well, but this is a great option for those who would rather not pull off the pieces of paper when finished.
Thanks, this sounds good on blocks for a "regular" quilt blocks but not for those complex ones. Thx again.
Check out Cynthia England’s designs. Tiny pieces with freezer paper!
I agree. Thanks for watching!
Can you respray
You probably could, although I didn't try it. I'm not sure if the paper would be too flimsy at that point and you may just need another piece.
6:05 you say youre going to spray your freezer paper, but you clearly said you used regular printer paper. I’m confused.
Sorry - yes, I used regular papter.
Thanks for watching Karen!
