[@ltn7112]

My mom and I are using this design to each make a temperature quilt for the year! Our first year living in separate states ❤️

[@MadMoodyQuiltingFabrics]

You are going to have amazing quilts, I love temperature quilts! What a great idea to do them together.

[@PatchworkSchoolhouse]

My goal is to do 365 houses this year, 7 per week, all out of my scraps. Thank you so much for this! It will make this so much quicker & easier 🎉

[@MadMoodyQuiltingFabrics]

These houses are very Quick to do you should be able to do them

I am always amazed, when you trim the block! I love them. Thank you!

[@MadMoodyQuiltingFabrics]

Glad that you like the little houses and the little tree all will work together. I have also made tall house and a tall tree and they will work with the little houses and trees also. Just have some fun making them and they are a great way to use up scraps.

I really like this piecing method using freezer paper. It makes much better sense...no picking out little pieces of paper down the line, plus it can be used several times!! Thank you for the video 😊👍💕

I have always enjoyed doing paper piecing till I had to get the paper out. So when I saw this method it was a big game changer. So glad that you like

I am so glad that you are going to give paper piecing a try. A table runner sounds like a great idea way to use the little houses

[@annabelquiltandmore]

What a clever method! No wastebof paper and you can print your paper in color so that you won’t make a mistake during the process. With this method, you have more the feeling of having the final block in hands in stead of a stranger mix paper/fabric. I will definitely give it a go for my next project! 👍🏻🫶🏻

[@MadMoodyQuiltingFabrics]

When I saw this method I thought the same thing. That is way I had to share it. The color is for the different sections. You still have to go by the numbers. The colors do help with seeing the pattern a bit better. I am glad that you will give this a try.

[@1angelofthelight2]

Those are so cute. This is the 2nd time I’ve seen a paper piecing done with waxed paper. I had no idea. I hate using the paper that you sew on and then rip it off, takes times, and not all of it comes off that easily. Thank you so much, great tutorial.

[@suebean3873]

[@GWtigress]

I enjoyed the video and like the idea of not sewing into the paper... i thought I was going to have to copy the pattern a gazillion times... Thanks again.

[@MadMoodyQuiltingFabrics]

I am glad you enjoyed. Just remember that one freezer paper pattern will do about four or maybe five if you are careful with the ironing. And when it stops sticking you can use a little glue from a glue stick to make it stick long enough to get the house made. Happy little house making

[@patriciat2609]

This makes so much more sense than having to sit there and pick apart the paper when you're done.

[@MadMoodyQuiltingFabrics]

That was my thoughts exactly also, you could use the papers more than once by using a washable glue to temporarily glue the fabric to the paper so things will not move.

[@MadMoodyQuiltingFabrics]

I have done another video of this method that has better camera angles that may help better.

[@Daffodil28]

Thank you for showing this. But I have a question: how can it still be a 1/2 inch seam, if you stitch on it? Would this method not make the picture larger than planned? How can a stitch in the ditch foot help with this? Will it not gather the fabric underneath the foot? I need to experiment. Thank you for.

[@MadMoodyQuiltingFabrics]

The pattern is finished size. The lines on the pattern are the stitching line you fold the paper on those lines and you will use an add 1/4 inch ruler to add your seam allowances. You keep the paper folded back and I use a foot that has a guide or a mark that will indicate the needle position. You are sewing just beside the paper that is still folded back in the same place as if you are sewing through the paper. There would be no gathering of the fabric. It’s as if you are doing regular patchwork with your machine. I hope this helps.

[@vickisperry5827]

So how do you get your pattern onto freezer paper? Won't the heat of the copier remove the stickiness from the freezer paper???

[@MadMoodyQuiltingFabrics]

Yes it is, there is a mat side and a shinny side you print on the mat side on an ink jet printer

[@jackiefritsch3690]

You said to use a water resistant glue, if your wax on the freezer paper doesn't stick, I would think you want a water soluble glue so you can get it off, not a water resistant since that would be more permanent. From how I understand glues.

[@SusanHilton-w8u]

I'm a new quilter. Why do you turn the paper over ti the back instead of using the front?

[@MadMoodyQuiltingFabrics]

The confusing part of the paper piecing is that you are working on the backside and sewing normally through the paper. This technique eliminates the sewing through the paper and makes it feel more like traditional patchwork. You’re using the paper to make sure that you are accurate with your patchwork. I hope that makes sense

[@lindalinda1087]

What paper do you use is it sticky or violene

[@MadMoodyQuiltingFabrics]

I use freezer paper there is a shiny side and that side will stick to the fabric when you iron it.
