Love this video .. I’ve made a few blocks using freezer paper … love the process … thank you for a great video.

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!

I had not heard of this product. Thanks for explaining its use so well!

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.❤

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

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.

Thanks! Never heard of this product in the can!

This is a game changer for FPP! One of the reasons I don't like FPP is the removal of the paper afterwards.

Looks like this might be more difficult than paper foundation paper piecing?? Or more cumbersome? Which one wld you chose to use? Thanks!!❤

[sandycampbell]

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 :).

By pressing on the wool mat does that shorten the life of the freezer paper

[DeniseSchultz]

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?).

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

[MicheleWest-me]

where do i buy odif 808 on line. even amazon does not sell it.

[annroberson]

What if you pressed on a silicone mat instead of wool?

[Quilter-RN]

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

[SewWhittle]

6:05 you say youre going to spray your freezer paper, but you clearly said you used regular printer paper. I’m confused.
