By Pat Sloan

For other sewing techniques

6. To stabilize quilt labels and signature blocks for writing on them
Iron freezer paper to the back of the label/block. Light lines may be drawn on the back of the freezer paper to help signers write straight. Remove paper when the writing is complete. See photo D.

7. As backing to stabilize fabric so you can run it through your printer
Cut the freezer paper so it is a bit smaller than your fabric. Iron the freezer paper to the back of your fabric and feed it into your printer.

8. For paper foundation piecing

9. As a template for piecing odd shapes

10. Tear-away stabilizer for machine embroidery and satin stitching

11. As quilting stencils—both for hand and machine work
Cut out your quilting motif (hearts, curves), then iron the freezer paper shape to the top of your quilt. Quilt around it by hand or machine. You can even slice out sections of the paper to quilt inside the motif. See photo E.
