How do you make freezer paper transfers?
Once the image has printed, place your freezer paper directly on your fabric. Use an iron on a hot/dry setting and iron the image on well.

How do you attach freezer paper to fabric?
Place your freezer paper, shiny side down, on a clean, lint-free ironing surface. Remove all water from your iron and pre-heat the iron using the Cotton setting.

Can you sew over freezer paper?
Draw a design on the dull side of the freezer paper and cut it out. Iron the paper (shiny side DOWN) onto a piece of fabric, then cut around the design.
