Freezer Paper FPP | No Tear Foundation Paper Piecing

In this video tutorial, I will show you how to quilt with the foundation paper piecing method, but you won't need to rip a SINGLE PIECE OF PAPER! This is often known as the no-tear FPP method or the freezer paper method. I can't say that I invented this idea, but I do use it constantly and wanted to share it with you.

I think as other comments suggested it would be far more simple if after you ironed on piece #1 you then fold back the seam line to piece. #2. Here is where the change comes in. Instead of using a light box to try and line up your quarter inch you would use your quarter inch ruler and trim piece #1. This then gives you the correct seam allowance and a perfect line to line your next fabric piece to. I hope this makes sense. Trim your quarter inch seams BEFORE lining up your next piece 👍🏽😀

I was just going to suggest cutting the first fabric 1/4” away from the paper fold, then add the second fabric along the edge. Easy to see the edge of the second fabric and no guessing as to if it’s lined up properly. And so on - to do the same with the next steps.

[@sherryw-ponyluv-er2394]

Well done tutorial. Very clear info in short amount of time. I think I can do this!

[@LA-cz3jk]

Thank you Rachel.

[@gmabo1]

So glad to have this video explanation. It's clear and so helpful. Once you've done one, it becomes obvious what this technique is all about. What a time saver! Makes doing FPP quilting much more fun....Also, really cute snail design. Thanks much for putting this together... Looking forward to the next video!

[@lorikorstanje2964]

excellant tutorial

[@evelynelliott4485]

Who made this pattern? It would make a great quilt for.a.child. Thanks for great tutorials. ❤

[@erinbiggers9898]

I didn't realize you had a youtube channel. I purchased this pattern when it came out but I haven't tried it yet.

[@terribishop5313]

Great job excellent!!!

[@christinejohnstone3626]

Hi I just found your videos!! SUBSCRIBED I just happened to be looking through earlier versions of Quiltmaker magazine and came across your Designer Spotmight Keep posting, please

[@annsomers6960]

Thank you for this very insightful technique. I wish I would've learned this sooner ;-)

[@maureenantoinestockman1051]

Hi! Thank you for this clear and helpful video! What is your recommendation for stitch length, please? (I may have missed this info - please forgive.)

[@Freddowasher5]

How did you copy the pattern onto the freezer paper?

[@wanderingintheabyss]

I think you can lightly iron the freezer paper to printing paper, cut it to size, and then print as normal. I think.

[@charmer6813]

A stitch in the ditch foot works great for staying away from the paper.

[@rachelrossidesign3802]

Yes, I typically use the Edgestitch foot (same idea!) - it really makes the whole thing a breeze!

[@deannas1515]

The 10D foot is actually the best one to use.

[@allreddesign]

Loved this...very helpful, thank you!! I think people were just wondering why you don't trim 1/4" before placing the next fabric face up along the edge like in typically FPP style, but I love that you're not cutting as much. Cannot wait to try this!! ALSO, does Martelli create an ironing mat for the rotating cutting board??? Love this!!

[@mimi7658]

Yes they do. You can purchase separately or all three pieces

[@eexner4242]

Would you do the shell separate? Ie cut out the shell piece from the outer piece you showed sewing?

[@user-tb8ku2bk3j]

Çok güzel

[@Olivia-pn3xl]

Hi! I do not have a printer to print the pattern on freezer paper. How else can I get the pattern on the freezer paper? Would simply tracing it onto the paper side of the freezer paper work? Help!

[@lbluebird342]

Congrats Rachel on joining YT with your cute snail design...I love pics of snails on Pinterest, especially if they're with a frog, other insect or animal. Was this your own original idea? Genius!! Many quilters will be using this whn they find out about it. I'll spread the word to my quilting friends/family, most are in the south. However, I'm going to start teaching a lady, in Jan, who has never made a quilt to sew a pineapple block quilt. I think they are EZ, it's like yours...simply sew a straight line. I'm considering teaching handicap teens or adults the same. Now that I've found your fun design, I'll check out your site and see what I can use for teaching and my projects. I'm a Sr (68), have sewn and crocheted since I was a young teen. I love designing quilts also, but I I've not shared my designs just yet, but plan to next year. I'm very excited. Hope to join YT also if I can figure out what to do. I wish you much success with your designs and quilting career. Again, CONGRATS and blessings, L :)

[@FireflyXOXO1]

Well, this might seem like the dumbest questions but how do you print the pattern onto the freezer paper? Do you cut the freezer paper to the size of printer parer then run it through the printer? Please help!

[@caroleseubert6810]

That's what I want to know, too!

[@IrynkaUkrainian59]

Использовать капирку или бумагу для выпички. Вы задаете глупые вопросы.

[@mtnjhutch]

That is not an stupid question! There is no STUPID question. You can cut it and put it through a printer or put the pattern on top of a piece (or more if needed) and sew through them with no thread. Easy to fold back the lines also because of the the needle holes

[@lisathompson5852]

You can buy letter sized freezer paper at your local quilt shop

[@Katbird88]

Where can we get pattern for this?

[@sewmadd]

Why wouldn’t you use an add-a-quarter ruler, trim a quarter inch then add the fabric on the first 2 fabrics?

[@rachelrossidesign3802]

I'm not sure I understand your question - that is what I'm doing. Can you clarify? I'd love to help! :)

[@epicuregal785]

So you start by tracing your pattern on to freezer paper?

[@Olivia-pn3xl]

I'd like to know this too

[@4wheeltundra]

Darn, Bought this but sadly you don't show how to do the head side and that's the hard bit with the antenna.... Im sad now after getting all my fabric ready and printing it all out :(

[@rachelrossidesign3802]

Hi there! It's the exact same technique on the shell and the head. I suggest doing the shell first to get the hang of things and then moving onto the head. It's exactly the same - it only looks intimidating because the pieces are smaller. :). You got this!!

[@4wheeltundra]

@@rachelrossidesign3802 Oh bless you for replying, I will try that then after a strong coffee and hope it works out

[@quiltybee]

I need an explanation on this freezer paper thing.

[@Shutthefucupcakes]

Not sure if you ever got an answer and not sure what your exact question is, but some people confuse freezer paper with wax paper, they are completely different. Do not use wax paper with your sewing machine, it will gum it up! Freezer paper has paper on one side and a plastic coating on the other, that coating is what “melts” onto your fabric and the. When cool will release without damage. You can find it at most grocery stores. Freezer paper is what most butcher wrap meat in when you purchase it from them.... hope this helped a little!

[@quiltybee]

@@Shutthefucupcakes I am not confused. But best brands and more info would be helpful.

[@Shutthefucupcakes]

@Nancie Rogers oh, ok. I use Reynolds brand from my local grocery store... I’ve not used anymore else...

[@quiltybee]

@@Shutthefucupcakes thanks so much.

[@Shutthefucupcakes]

@@quiltybee you’re welcome
