Sausy Freezer Paper Applique 2 Jan 24 2008, 9:04 AM EST by odessa_cat
Thread started: Jun 25 2007, 4:59 PM EDT  Watch
I have questioned whether it was a very good idea to do applique by freezer paper with slicing the back of the area to remove the freezer paper. I feel that one should not slice the foundation fabric so that the warp and weft of the foundation fabric is not disturbed and therefore it remains strong. What I do is begin at the straightest part of any image, go around and then about 1/2 from the spot I need to finish at (which is really where I began), I stop, remove the thread that I held the border fabric in place with, turn up one of the underside pieces of the border, remove the paper, put the little piece back in place and carry on finishing my appliqued piece. It has worked on small, large, even, and uneven shapes. It just seems to be logical to me. I hope that makes sense to others. MJ Penfold, North Vancouver, BC, Canada
