Congratulations Karen!! How nice of your husband to make you something special to commemorate the event.
He's a keeper
Congratulations on reaching 400K subscribers. The plaque your husband made is much nicer than the official CZcams ones. That was a really sweet thing he did for you.
The love and support from hubby far outweighs anything YT will ever give you ❤❤ congratulations!
Thank you so much!!
That tip for using 2" strips of fp to stabilize long bias stretchy edges to add the border is GOLD
Thank you!!!
Glad to share. I use it often and you can use the same strips over and over again
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?
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!
Funny, I was thinking about that while making the video. Those beautiful colours. And the waxed paper made them so shiny
Mom would do that with our rare four leaf clover finds!
I have a red leaf I pressed in a book in 1968!
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.
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!)
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
👏👏👏
I think I’ll b e on my first roll of freezer paper for the rest of my life!
Congratulations Karen! Wow! 400,000 Subscribers! What an accomplishment! Kudos to your husband for making you a 400K plaque!
Thank you very much
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 )))))
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!!
our quilting group at church makes 'comfort quilts' with scriptures in some of the blocks... in word i insert a text box and size it to what i need for the block... pick a font and type out the scripture... print...using a light box... lay the printed scripture on the light box and tape it down... iron freezer paper on the back of the block you want the scripture on. the tape that on top... fabric up.. freezer paper stabilized the fabric...we use pigma graphic pens (archival ink) 1.0 is a good size tip for tracing. none of us can print or write that well... so tracing the scripture onto the fabric... it looks professional... peel the paper off...we set the ink with a hot iron... and sew into the quilt... wish i could post a pic... but you should try it...we use black...but i think that have other colors...sharpies are not as perennate as you think... have fun
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!
I also have been using FP for making tissue paper pieces more substantial.
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.
Thank you so much! 🤗🤗🤗
Congratulations Karen. What a nice gift from your husband! And, very well done!
Congratulations Karen. Doesn't surprise me. The content of your videos has been priceless to me. Thank you 🎉
Thank you so much!
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.
Thank you
Congratulations! Your husband’s sign is great!
Wow, this video has so much valuable info and tips!! Thank you so much. ❤️ that award your husband made you is amazing. Congratulations 🎉👏👏👏
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!!
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 )))
Thank you
Congratulations on 400,000 subscribers. The plaque your husband made for you speaks volumes. God bless you both. 😊
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.
I felt the same way when I started using my cordless iron. It makes it so much easier to
Congrats on 400K! That million mark will be here before you know it!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you and want to tell you again how happy I am that I found you and your videos. They are always full of great ideas and instructions. Thank you for all your hard work and great videos!! ❤
Love the idea of stabilizing the bias edge of a quilt …brilliant!!
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!! ❤🥰
Thank you 😊
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. YOU certainly explain and demonstrate very well, you are so helpful.
I wish I could go on your trip with you, such an adventure!
Thank you again, bless you.😊❤❤🧵🪡✂️🦓Liz
😊😊❤❤Congratulations 🎉🎉 Awesome award that your husband made for you. Thanks for all the freezer paper tips. 😊😊❤❤ As always love your videos. 😊😊
❤ ❤ Kudos to a marvelous tutor who shares her vast knowledge so lovingly to willing students.
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
Another good tip. Thanks for sharing
Congratulations Karen! What a great milestone! I have no doubt that your number of Subscribers will continue to climb!
Love the hack for the labels! I used to buy expensive fabric sheets made for printers. Freezer paper is such a great quilting tool 🙂
Mind blown! I love the border stabilization tip!
Tip: For copying, card stock works even better than ordinary paper.
Great tip. Thank you
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.
Congratulations 🎊 most of the video's on FPP I've seen, the paper is sewn to materials. This looks much better.
I saved this video to view again. Thanks for all this valuable info.
Keep on keeping on!
Glad it was helpful!
It’s amazing what freezer paper can do for Quilting projects? Thank you for the refresher.
You are so welcome!
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!
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
I see your point! I’m making the 5” block I think. Goal - 120. Done - 33😂
I needed more ideas on how to use freezer paper. My husband bought me a huge roll of it at Aldi. I don’t think I’ll use it all before I die.
It’s also good to draw patterns onto
Use it for your meats to freeze. Need masking tape to close.
I use to cover foods in the crockpot. Holds moisture in
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!
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.
sounds pretty
You have to buy this by the metre in quilt shops in Australia. Not sold in shops. My husband bought me a big roll while in the USA. Lucky me.
We Canadians stock up when we go to the states as well
I got a roll of Reynolds here in Australia, but it was many years ago so can't remember where unfortunately. Mind you, I think this roll might last a lifetime 😅
If you do a Google search you will find many of the smaller fabric outlets sell freezer paper by the box. Spotlight seems to be the only one selling it by the metre. The price varies a lot but I think I paid about $20 for mine and it will certainly outlive me!
@@JustGetitDoneQuilts I finally found freezer paper locally in Calgary at Save-On Foods.
I am in Australia and have never had to buy freezer paper by the metre. Hobbysew sell it by the roll. Am working on a Dear Jane quilt and found it very good for FPP the very small pieces - I punch holes along the seam lines with my sewing machine needle (minus any thread) then sew directly along the lines, the paper is then quite easy to tear away. Love your channel Karen
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.
Great tips that’s for sharing them
A❤️👍👍👍❤️👋👋👋❤️ Congratulations on over 400,000 and for such a thoughtful hubby.
I found a box of deli paper and it goes thru the printer wonderfully and it tears clean!! Love it more than freezer paper!
I noticed that Amazon has more brands available then there did before
A couple other thoughts for freezer paper. If you have a sublimation printer, you can fuse a sheer polyester interfacing/ embroidery stabilizer to freezer paper and run it through your printer to print foundation pieces. Heat set the ink to make it permanent. Sew on the lines and trim like you would with foundation paper piecing. The stabilizer is left in your final piece without adding significant thickness. And it stabilizes all your biases. The best part is you can see the lines from both sides for fabric placement.
Next, you can fuse tissue patterns to the plastic side of freezer paper. Iron the patterns first to remove wrinkles, then fuse. It's fairly permanent and strengthens the patterns for reuse.
Finally, you can fuse multiple layers of freezer paper together, plastic side of one to paper side of the next, to make stiffer template pieces. Works nicely for applique or other template uses.
Thanks for sharing. Great tips
Brilliant!! Wonderful idea to get those edges stabilized. Thank you for your work Karen.
Congratulations on 400000 subscribers! I absolutely love your channel. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
FANtastic! and I love your blouse.
Wow! I didn't know I could use Freezer Paper in so many ways. Thank you.
Fantastic news on your 400,00 achievement. I use the pre-cut sheets whenever I am doing paper piecing. Using that method has made paper piecing so freeing
Thank you 😊
congratz on 400K.
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.
👍
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 😊😊
Thanks for sharing all the ways to use freezer paper
Thank you Karen. I have always wondered about freezer paper methods. Congrats for 400k.
You are so welcome!
If you don't need a whole roll of paper, ask the butcher at the meat counter to tear off some from their packaging area. If you need a lot of paper, the food service markets carry jumbo rolls of it.
Love the use of Freezer paper with Label making ❤
I love your channel and congratulate your success in reaching so many subscribers! I know that not every method appeals to everyone, but this video validates my aversion to paper piecing...too much patience required!!! 🤷🏼♀️😊
It is very fiddling
Brilliant idea for bias, would never ever have thought of it. Thank you for the freezer paper ideas.
I never would have thought of using freezer paper....AWESOME!
Congratulations on your milestone! I’ve been working with freezer paper for years but learned some new techniques from you. Thank you for all your hard work to put these awesome tutorials together.

Congratulations on 400,000 ❤
I have used freezer paper to make shapes with felt for several years when I make children's books with fabric, learning other things I can use it for is great, thank you for your videos
🤗🤗
Woot 400k, CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I use freezer paper for templates! Works great!
Wow this is gonna be a timesaver thank you so much
Foam hand soap reduces water use. I used it in the preschool room because it rinses quickly and completely from little hands.
Thank you so much Karen, I really really enjoyed watching you show us all about using freezer paper,, in our sewing projects. This has been very very helpful and useful too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Congratulations to you you deserve this honor. Thank you
Wow .. thanks Karen... There's sooo many great 'tips&tricks'... I've always shied away from fpp. I will revisit your video time n time again ... Many thanks and congrats on 400k.
Absolutely Amazing
Hooray for 400k 🎉
Thank you
400,000 is fabulous. Congratulations. I LOVED this video. So many tips. Now to save it for when I am ready for each tip. I "sew" appreciate your videos. Thanks
I love the sign your husband made for very sweet❣️❣️❣️❣️
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! 😊
Freezer paper is a big part of wool embroidery which so many quilters also do.
Good to know. I have a Sue Spargo kit to start later this year
Awesome video. Great tips.TFS🌴💕
A true omg. Something you did enabled me to finally understand the paper piecing process. THANK YOU! 🤯
I cut the Reynolds roll of Freezer paper to 8.5x11 sheets and let them sit flat under a weight for a few days. They go through my printer with no issues. I love FPP with freezer paper!
Congratulations, love watching you. All the tips and tricks. Thank you
Thanks so much!
I've used freezer paper for so many things! I love freezer paper!
Yay ! I have 3 rolls; I need to use it.
400,000 - great job!! You give such cheerful & plain instructions and I really enjoy your videos. Blessings from Texas! 😊☕️💗🇨🇱

Congratulations Karen!
Congratulations on 400,000 subscribers! Well deserved!
This is has been my favorite technique, with a few exceptions.
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
Thanks Karen great tips just need to buy good freezer paper hard to access in Western Australia 😊
Check Amazon
Thank you for the instruction for stabilizing bias edges. My jellyroll French braid quilt gave me fits trying to put sashes between the braids. I can fix it now!!
Glad it was helpful!
