Freezer Paper Scraps (and a Happy Surprise in the Studio)

One of the nicest surprises in the Inklingo Quilt Studio is that you no longer need to cut freezer paper to a custom size.

Just iron a piece of fabric to Letter or Legal freezer paper and print.

(If you have a large-format printer, you can also use Tabloid 11 × 17 or B3 13 × 19.)

Just print the shapes you need. No waste. No extra steps.

What about your freezer paper scraps?

That’s not waste either—they’re useful. You can quickly turn scraps into whatever size you need.

Here’s a quick video showing how:

I’ve heard from several quilters who were surprised by how simple it is to print quilt shapes on fabric with the Studio.

That has been my goal all along.

Print, cut, sew.

I’m so happy that you’ve seen the Studio now. It has been the focus of my work for a long time.

I didn’t want to promise anything I couldn’t deliver, so there were no pre-announcements. It just appeared—only the testers knew.

Now it’s your turn to try it — and choose your favorite thing.

Do you like dragging the corner of the pink box?
That’s Monkey’s favorite thing.

You can download Inklingo Quilt Studio and try it today—it only takes a minute, and you can start with the free shape collection.

The new Guided Tour shows how easy it is to choose exactly what you want to print.

You might discover a new favorite thing, too — like quilting without templates — or precise quilt piecing — or easier quilting.

Let me know, okay?

  1. Never thought of doing that with freezer paper. I have been doing what I refer to as Frankensteining battings and embroidery stabilizers for a long time. Thanks for the info. Now I need to start a pile for scrap freezer paper.

    • Hi Bruce, It’s very nice to hear from you again. It’s been a while!
      You can use this method to add to the width or the length of freezer paper. I try to pay attention to the direction of the overlap to make it less likely an edge would catch in the printer. Freezer paper sheets last a long time and they’re cheap, but I still don’t want to waste it.

    • Carole! You just made my heart sing! This is exactly the result we worked so hard to achieve.
      Many quilters have written to me privately, which is very nice, but public comments are even nicer.
      Thank you.

    • Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh, I used to live in Greer, 5 minutes from Grvl airport. I loved my 20 years in Greer. Now I live in Bandera TX. Not quite the same. Wonderful pecan trees a little ways north of us and monstrous live oaks down here, but no smoky mtn’s close by either.
      Ah well. Houses aren’t cheek by jowl where I am. Town of about 1,ooo. Not like Houston or Dallas, or San Antonio, thank goodness.
