🪄 🦄 FREEZER PAPER MAGIC: 5 SEWING HACKS EVERY CRAFTER NEEDS TO KNOW!

[@arlotally]

That tip for using 2" strips of fp to stabilize long bias stretchy edges to add the border is GOLD Thank you!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Glad to share. I use it often and you can use the same strips over and over again

[@pegasusquilts]

I love it too, but did you actually say to stitch 1/4" from the edge of the paper, after already trimming the quilt top 1/4" from the edge of the paper?

[@wandawalker4191]

Congratulations Karen!! How nice of your husband to make you something special to commemorate the event.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

He's a keeper

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

Congratulations on reaching 400K subscribers. The plaque your husband made is much nicer than the official KZbin ones. That was a really sweet thing he did for you.

[@missyb.623]

The love and support from hubby far outweighs anything YT will ever give you ❤❤ congratulations!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you so much!!

[@apylinski]

I remember when we were kids we put beautiful fall maple leaves between two pieces of waxed paper and ironed them. We could keep them for years!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Funny, I was thinking about that while making the video. Those beautiful colours. And the waxed paper made them so shiny

[@candydeister]

Mom would do that with our rare four leaf clover finds!

[@gill5733]

I have a red leaf I pressed in a book in 1968!

[@katehenry2718]

Freezer paper on HEXIES!!!!! O MY. I've wanted to make a hexie quilt but balked at the card backs and the extra stitching. Freezer paper to the rescue. Much more do-able now )))))

[@katherinephillips8952]

You will get a stiffer hexi template if you iron 2-3 layers of FP together. All layers paper side up. Easier to remove, too!!

[@incanada83]

@@katherinephillips8952 Hi, maybe a dumb question but what do you mean by "all layers paper side up"? I never noticed any difference on both sides of freezer paper. To me, both are the same. Thank you in advance 🙂

[@michele6708]

Freezer paper was one of the star quilting supplies back in the early 1990s before we had so much bespoke kit for quilting. I used it for all of these things back then. I think I still have that roll. I started quilting again 2 years ago after a 25+ year hiatus (and have actually just about completed my UFOs from back then-two on their way to longarmer, one has two sides of hand sewing binding left, and two more completely done!)

[@katl6426]

I still have my roll from back then 😅 I tend to forget about it until I need I spot it & decide to use it more often

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

👏👏👏

[@thereyougothen]

I think I’ll b e on my first roll of freezer paper for the rest of my life!

[@jeannehoffman1060]

Congratulations! Your husband’s sign is great!

[@gran2585]

Congratulations Karen. What a nice gift from your husband! And, very well done!

[@katehenry2718]

Now that makes more sense. Freezer paper gets rid of the multiple bits of paper )))) Just ONE piece that comes off really nice and clean. )) I can handle that. The big star is inspiring !! Your hubby is a keeper. Make sure he gets plenty of treats. ))) Clapping cheering and confetti for your 400 000 subscribers YAYYYYY )))) We all know how THAT happened )))

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you

[@brettster3331]

Hi Karen, I am so happy about you reaching 400I subscribers, I have known about how talented you are, and your great ability to teach. It is so nice to know how good your husband is as well.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you so much! 🤗🤗🤗

[@violet2048]

Oh my gosh, I just bought some water soluble tear away, which works great, but this method is genius. I bought a whole 12" thick role of freezer paper along time ago and only use it for applique. I see this will really be helpful. Thank you and congratulations, 400K. Think of all the people you've helped, you've worked hard to make so many of us better at what we love.

[@susanbaker8023]

Congratulations Karen. Doesn't surprise me. The content of your videos has been priceless to me. Thank you 🎉

[@CompassQuiltCo.]

Love the idea of stabilizing the bias edge of a quilt …brilliant!!

[@notesfromleisa-land]

Karen, fantastic milestone on 400K subscribers. I stumbled upon your channel in 2019 when I made my first quilt (which which invoked tears and cursing). The cut straight, sew straight, press right tips in your fix common problems video helped me exorcise those demons. You've help so many with your practical tips and your encouragement and inspiration.

[@juliemorrison4348]

Congratulations Karen on your accomplishment. Clever hubby making your keepsake. Clever ideas with freezer paper. Not something I usually keep on hand but must look for some.👏♥️🇦🇺

Karen, I love and trust you so much, when I saw this video come up, I went bought a roll before I even watched the video. Congratulations on your goal reached!! On to half a million!!

[@lynngallegos2727]

Thank you so much Karen for all of the wonderful thing I have learned from you. The latest item is the use of freezer paper. I used it when sewing borders on a quilt and it made it so much easier and no WAVES. 400,000 subscribers is so great.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you

[@patphares6258]

❤ ❤ Kudos to a marvelous tutor who shares her vast knowledge so lovingly to willing students.

[@emilinebelle7811]

I need that kind of support from my husband if I ever get one ❤️❤️

[@lorrainethomson2401]

Another great group of lessons on freezer paper, I especially like the idea of printing labels on to fabric. I did hand write and embroider my first couple of quilts but that soon went by the way. I confess I have been lazy the last 5 or so years, I have made about a dozen quilts for charity and thought a label didn’t matter on them, but I need to rethink that attitude now 😊😊

[@karonray2990]

Congratulation on your continued growth. It was fun to listen to a friend who just discovered you, a kid in a candy store! On freezer paper, if you want it thicker, you can iron sheets together [help if you iron them first before layering], also for longer strips, just over lap them, iron and you have a longer strip. Also, you can iron cut outs to a quilt top and then quilt around them, no markings on the top.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Great tips that’s for sharing them

[@robinmarie5180]

Congratulations 🎊 most of the video's on FPP I've seen, the paper is sewn to materials. This looks much better.

[@maryposuniak5281]

Congratulations Karen! No surprise your tutorials are wonderful!!!!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Thank you so much!

[@margaretderen2082]

I couldn’t appliqué without it! I cut my FP patterns on my Silhouette Cameo. I also use it for my infrequent FP piecing - what a joy to be free of tearing paper!

[@giselleyoung3248]

Love the hack for the labels! I used to buy expensive fabric sheets made for printers. Freezer paper is such a great quilting tool 🙂

[@lizreynolds4554]

Huzzah! Karen, Congratulations 🎉💖🍀 What a nice guy, quite the AWARD! THANK YOU for sharing this with us! I am starting to use Freezer paper and am excited to learn all these new (to me) applications.

I use the freezer paper all the time in my sewing room here in the states. I have a jet printer and I just cut my paper to size and just sent it through the machine. But I only use one piece at a time in front of my printer paper . Thank you for sharing God bless you and your family have blessed evening.

Thank you so much 😀

[@angelcastro3129]

Oh my goodness! I've used freezer paper for the last 40 years for my garment sewing, I ironed my very thin tissue like clothing patterns onto this paper to make my patterns thicker and last much much longer. You are the first sewist I have seen on YT that has shown this hack. Thank you very much for sharing the many ways one can use this very useful paper! Congratulations on your 400K!

[@maryspaulding2005]

I also have been using FP for making tissue paper pieces more substantial.

[@bellemeri8155]

I'd forgotten about how handy freezer paper is for sewing and quilting. My great-grandmother used to use it in her "Baltimore" applique quilts. Also, I want to thank you for the video you did long ago about the Panasonic cordless iron. It made replacing my cordless iron after a sudden failure of it far easier than I imagined.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I felt the same way when I started using my cordless iron. It makes it so much easier to

[@Hiker_who_Sews]

Wow, 400k!! Thanks for all you do, and for all the introductions to other experts!

[@kathycarman8282]

As you were discussing other uses of freezer paper, I am working on a floral appliqué using freezer paper on the wrong side of my fabric. I usually needle turn and use forceps to remove the paper when I’m close to finishing that motif.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

sounds pretty

[@estherthurman2628]

It’s amazing what freezer paper can do for Quilting projects? Thank you for the refresher.

Brilliant idea for bias, would never ever have thought of it. Thank you for the freezer paper ideas.

[@Ann-i6p8q]

Karen you just made my day, i have planned on making a quit for my grandson and the trick with freezer paper and wonderful memories

[@cathyhasfaith6991]

You know, I love bold colors and certainly am drawn to certain colors. The thing I love most about quilting is the variety of colors, moods and themes you can create and get out of your head, moving to great additions to projects rather than limiting yourself. Some of my best times are created when I have a shared concept with a person I am making the quilt for! 😊

[@valeriebishop561]

Brilliant!! Wonderful idea to get those edges stabilized. Thank you for your work Karen.

I found a box of deli paper and it goes thru the printer wonderfully and it tears clean!! Love it more than freezer paper!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

I noticed that Amazon has more brands available then there did before

[@patriciamartin5026]

400K Wow. You deserve this. I use it for some projects even free-motion quilting. Now I have even more uses for it. I do also use it for the freezer

I never would have thought of using freezer paper....AWESOME!

Love the idea for the bias edge

Congratulations, Karen 🎉, Thanks for the refresher course on freezer paper . Great tutorial.. ❤🇨🇦

[@mrsmcdonald9363]

Mind blown! I love the border stabilization tip! Tip: For copying, card stock works even better than ordinary paper.

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Great tip. Thank you

[@katherinephillips8952]

It probably makes the fabric stiffer for more even distribution of ink. Be sure to use an INK-JET PRINTER!!! Toner will not attach itself to fabric.

For edge I use masking tape and it does work 😊

[@auntielhandmade2099]

Besides quilts and bags, i also sew little girls dresses. I fuse the tissue paper patterns to freezer paper, then trace the size i need onto pattern paper. I never cut the tissue pattern and can make several sizes from 1 pattern

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Another good tip. Thanks for sharing

Oh wow! I’m blow away by the application of freezer paper ❤

I get it finally! This video has been so helpful. I’m addicted to the precision of the economy block now. making an Ispy quilt for my little 3 YO niece. Thanks again!

[@JustGetitDoneQuilts]

Good to see you Cat. I have just started my own 2.5 economy block quilt. I figure it will take me 10 years to make

[@susanschleede6591]

Great video! When I first learned to sew, a friend taught me how to make quillows. We made the blanket part using the envelope method putting the top and bottom next to each other and the batting on top. We would pin freezer paper around the edges so the sewing machine foot wouldn’t get tangled in the batting.

[@rosejohnston1448]

I’ve used parchment for patterns in the past, but now I guess i need freezer! This is amazing for all sewing. I’m new to quilting but I will be picking some up. Thanks so much

[@1wholovestrees]

I love this video! I’ve used freezer paper several times. I was asked to make 12 memory bears, all out of bathrobe fabric, which wasn’t the suggested fabric type. The freezer paper was great to cut out the pieces. Also, I was making tea cozies, over 100, and used it for the circle at the bottom of the cozy.

[@dbledni]

Thank you Karen!!! Why didn't I think of using freezer paper for foundation paper piecing!!? (Maybe because I avoid foundation paper piecing... so I haven't worked at it! 😅) Anyway, nice explanation about freezer, parchment and waxed paper. So many folks are confused about the difference! As always NICE JOB! And congrats on 400K!! ❤🥰

[@franpatzcraig6713]

Congratulations on reaching 400,000! I hand write my labels because I don't have an ink jet printer. Freezer paper as a stabilizer works well for this as well. Iron the paper onto the back, write on the front, peel away the paper, iron to heat-seal the ink, and you're good to go.
