I've been paper piecing with freezer paper for the first time recently and discovered the frustration of the paper not consistently sticking (none of the fabric was washed or starched.) Just to finish the experimental blocks I sprayed the back of the paper with 505 spray baste. That works much better. Next time I'll print the pattern pieces on regular paper and try the spray baste alone. Perhaps this will work. Sure would simplify the supply list.javascript:emoticon(':wink:')

The FP may not have stuck because the fabric wasn't washed. The sizing (or whatever it is) from the manufacturer was still in it.

Also, your iron has to be HOT!

Thanks for the comments about prewashing. I almost always do, just not with this experiment. The 505 spray baste continues to
work for me and allows me to add seam allowences that tear more easily. And now I'll return to washing and pressing as soon as the fabric walks in the door.

I keep rewatching this episode! I love Cynthia's technique-even though I haven't tried it yet :lol: I can envision so many possibilities. I wish I could take a class with her.
