These aren’t for baking! Although they are a hot little item. Gone are the days of using an elbow, knee and possibly a chin to hold down and cut that unruly roll of freezer paper to just the right size. If you’re familiar with the many uses of freezer paper you will be happy to know that this week’s giveaway is Quilter’s Freezer Paper Sheets. This stuff is awesome for piecing, applique, printing patterns and templates or simply stabilizing fabric for ink-jet printing. The beauty of these sheets are they’re perfectly cut to 8 1/2″ x 11″, reusable and they are flat, flat flat.
For your chance to win a package of 30 sheets, leave a comment here or on Facebook by August 17, 2009, and tell us about a project or technique where freezer paper was the key to success, or how you think you might use it in the future. We will randomly (random.com) pick and announce the winner Monday. Good Luck!
By the way, you actually can use it for baking if a neatly aligned pan is your thing. Mmm can taste those cookies already!

I'd use it for a Ricky Tims style quilt using gradations with long sharp points.
I made a pillow pattern using it. I think it's great for odd shapes and applique patterns. I didn't know you could use it in baking! TFS
I love this stuff – so much easier than a big roll of freezer paper! I use it for hand applique – I use two layers of freezer paper as a template when I use starch to turn under my seams.
I use freezer paper for my needle turn applique. I'm looking forward to trying out this "new" freezer paper for a Ricky Tims style Rhapsody!
I used freezer paper to create learning placemats for my kids. This way they will know how to properly set a table. My next project to work with freezer paper will be a fruit of the spirit quilt with applique fruit pieces.
I use it all the time for patterns, as a resist when painting fabric and as a pressing sheet.
I used my freezer paper for the BOM Summer Pond! It worked wonderfully!!!!! http://www.fatcatpatterns.com/block_of_the_month.htm
Love this freezer paper and it's always sold out, much to my constant dismay.
I haven't used it, but I know I have to finish a dragon quilt surrounded by fire lilies (complete with a winding vine and leaves all applique) and I've been trying to figure out how to do this. Must go quilt now! LOL, kinda behind on this, it's for my daughter and I need finished it. I think I bit off more than I can chew.
I haven't heard of it! I'll do some googling and see what I come up with.
I love it for applique – also used it to make a stained glass window style pieced vest. Great stuff!
I'm sure these sheets would be wonderful to use in my next hand applique project!
I used it in a piece-lique class with Sharon Schamber…she's a terrific teacher, by the way!
I this product for paper piecing my Dear Jane quilt.
I meant to say piecing instead of paper piecing.
I just used freezer paper to paper piece "compass" corners for a wallhanging I am making for a quilters' challenge. There is no way all those skinny points would still exist if it weren't for the freezer paper method!
Applique!
I use freezer paper to stabilize fabric so I can print my quilt labels on it!
I want to learn how to applique and heard using freezer paper was very helpful in making and holding the shape of your work. The big problem is I can not find either the sheets or rolls of it anywhere where can I find it? I was told it comes on a roll which would be good for making large pieces. Help anyone???
I just bought my first package of these sheets and I love, love, love them. Zip them through the printer and instant applique templates!
Entry from Jc Smitty: Hello. I am a beginner and would love to learn various ways to use freezer papper. I am also a wanna-be quilter (purchased a few tools, but need to take a class). Thanks for entering me. -JC
I've used freezer paper for printing on fabric, but haven't tried printing right on the freezer paper yet. Gotta try that!
I’m working with freezer paper right now to help me starch down the perfect curve for applique. I’ve never used the packaged freezer paper – I’m a real cheapskate until I find out a product really DOES work better!
I’d so love to try this…I love to use freezer paper for applique and for the hexagons in my grandmother’s flower garden blocks…I’ve been cutting sheets from the large roll to fit my printer…and it’s not very fun or easy!
I used freezer paper when prepping my signature blocks for my signature quilt for my wedding. Instead of a signature book, I’m making a signature quilt. I didn’t know who was going to sign individually and who would sign as a family, so I didn’t want to piece the quilt before the wedding and have too many blank spaces or run out of room. To make sure guests followed the 1/4″ rule, I put freezer paper on the back of the blocks in the area where the guests could write. This reinforced the 1/4″ guideline.
Gosh I use it all the time!!! Several paper piecing projects on the go incl my scrappy log cabin and some spider web blocks
I’ve been wanting to try Inklingo and this would be perfect for getting me started. Thanks.
I have been wanting to try applique and Im clueless about it, but i have heard mention of using freezer paper, so that is where i woudl start…i think it can also be used to melt crazyons in between for a fun craft project with the kids!
thanks for the chance

I use freezer paper for backing my fabric for printing off my computer and have alot of trouble with curling, so a flat, pre cut piece would be wonderful. Am anxious to try it out. Thanks for the info.
They sound very interesting. I’d like to give them a try.
I am learning to raw edge applique while doing a William Morris quilt. Yikes! Some of the pieces are quite small. I giggle each time I struggle to cut out small pieces from that enormous piece of freezer paper. I think that having pre-cut sheets would be such a wonderful treat. Barb R =!=
I have been using freezer paper for years in applique and more recently as a resist in painting… and in stencilling. If anyone hasn’t tried it… do…
Printing on the freezer paper? Holy Cow! Okay, NOW I'm sold.
I used freezer paper way back when for 8 pointed stars…they were then so easy to piece!
Oh I didn’t know that these sheets were available!! I’m currently doing an applique project, it’s a big queen size quilt. I have it about 1/2 way finished, and now I realize that I get crisp neat lines when using freezer paper. I only have about 160 more flowers, and 84 mores leaves to go. How convenient it would be to have sheets of paper right there handy. I would LOVE to win. Thanks for telling me about the product, I’ll ask for it at my local quilt shop.
These are neat! I would like to iron them onto fabric and then run it through the printer! Wouldn’t that be cool, no curling freezer paper! Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m really happy to hear a version of freezer paper has come out for quilters. I can’t wait to try it.

For an applique project, this sounds wonderful. Did not know they were available. Thanks for the giveaway!
I used freezer paper for over 300 signature squares for my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding quilt! Quilt still in progress, but the signatures look great!
I have quite a few paper pieced gems I want to make and it gets tiring cutting off the main roll ..I made three gems for my DD for a trable runner and she loves it!
Freezer paper is great for making your own labels, copying templates and making something similar to a memory quilt. I love freezer paper.
I’d love some to try running some fabric through my ink-jet printer! I’ve mostly used freezer paper to piece the ‘branches’ of my tree quilts to the ‘background’.
Entry from Jeanne Carey: My second quilt was what I called a memory quilt because it was photos of my children growing up. I took a two hour class on making my own photo paper because I made so many mistakes that the premade sheets cost was growing rapidly. I used freezer paper to back my fabric. I actually liked the homemade fabric better because it was softer. I even used the technique to create my own fabric for a border when I could not find a fabric anywhere that had dancing chickens on it.
Oh! I would dearly love to win these !
These really are treasures ! I hope ! I hope!
I use freezer paper quite often. Please enter me in the give away.
I was taking a class on using one point perspective for making a landscape quilt where the landscape looks as if it is far away – with the borders looking like they are moving toward you. If I had not had freezor paper to use, I never would have been able to make that quilt!
Yay!! Please include me! :)
I’ve been working up the guts to start an applique learning process – bought most of the supplies, but not the freezer paper! I think applique could be a great way to use up my bright little scraps.
I’ve often thought of printing patterns out on freezer paper but am too lazy to cut them to size. These sheets would be perfect.
I use freezerpaper for my DJ and NI quilts, mini quilts, labelwriting, etc. it makes my patching very accurate and stabelize the fabric for the label if I write on it.
Please count me in for the give away, I can always use more freezerpaper, and I would love to try yours out.
;o)
(pssst, are you sure? baking with freezer(!?)paper?)
(I’m not SO sure about that)

I’ve got the how-to book, I’ve got the magic elixir in a bottle, I’ve got the muslin, I’ve got the printer, I’ve got everything I think I’ll need to try printing on fabric except all I have is freezer paper on a roll. Roll would be a verb, as in… it’s rolling into itself. Wish someone would come up with flat, paper-sized, precut packages of freezer paper. *grin*
I use freezer paper for my applique. I am currently working on the BOM project from Anne Sutton’s Bunny HIll website. FP is the way to go.
About a year ago I needed some freezer paper for an applique project I was working on. In the store where I was shopping (they sold in bulk) was his HUGE package (roll) of freezer paper (no smaller ones) so I threw it in my cart, not wanting to go looking at another store and needing it right away. I thought I would never in my lifetime use that roll up, BUT I see now that it’s almost time to go shopping again for freezer paper. I would love to try the sheets…thanks for the opportunity.

What a great give-a-way. I have made greeting cards and envelopes with freezer paper using tissue paper or designer papers. I am looking forward to printing fabric with the help of freezer paper sheets. Thank you for such an opportunity.
The only thing I’ve used freezer paper for is applique, however I was just watching an episode of Quilting Arts on PBS, and they had a neat idea using it as a stencil for use with Shiva Paintstiks.
i am going to be doing a table runner which has alot of piecing so this would definitely come in handy
