For years quilters have used freezer
paper for appliqué. A quilter would go to the store
and buy a roll of freezer paper. They would bring the paper
home and trace their pattern on it. While cutting out the
pieces, they would guess what seam allowance to add.

With CD Designs preprinted freezer
paper patterns this time consuming task is no longer needed.
The patterns are already printed on the freezer paper with
added seam allowances to use the pattern as a cutting template.
The patterns are also very versatile in that they can be used
for needle turn and fusible appliqué. as well.

Shown is a samle of a preprinted freezer
paper heart pattern. The solid line is the true size and shape
of the finished appliquéd piece. This is the line you
cut to prepare your pattern for freezer paper basting. This
line can also be used as a cutting template for raw edge appliqué.,
as with the blanket stitch. A Third use of the solid line
is a cutting template for fusible
appliqué. Freezer paper will stick to the paper
backing of heat fusible fabric adhesives, like HeatnBond.

The first dashed line is a 1/8"
seam allowance. This allows the pattern to be used as a cutting
template for needle turn appliqué.
|
|
The second dashed line is a 3/16"
seam allowance. This allows the pattern to be used as a cutting
template for freezer paper appliqué.

How about checking my
patterns already printed on freezer paper.
