I do a lot of hand appliqué and I prepare all the pieces. I used to use freezer paper but after I was stuck having to remove freezer paper and basting stitches on 800 leaves from the back of a quilt I said enough! I am not proficient evough to do needle turn with out preparing the pieces and I am pretty picky about how my work looks. So I bought some of this paper, pulled out my appliquick tools and sew line glue pen and gave it a try. I am sold. Into the trash with the freezer paper. I have had no problem sewing the pieces on with the glue and the paper and I figure I am saving myself hours of aggravation. It really didn’t take much practice to use those appliquick tools. I have had no issues doing curves or deep valleys. I wish I had tried this earlier.
