Skip Tedious Paper Removal from FPP Blocks
| January 5, 2026 | Paper Piecing, Quilt Blocks
The Secret is Freezer Paper!
Do you enjoy foundation paper piecing (FPP) but dislike removing the paper templates after sewing the blocks together? This clever technique uses freezer paper templates that can be peeled away from the finished block.
Plus, the templates can be used repeatedly until they no longer stick to the fabric. The secret is that you don’t sew through the paper. Instead, you fold it back and sew alongside it.
Teresa from Down Under demonstrates the process in the following video. Notice that she traces the templates onto freezer paper. You can also print them using an inkjet printer. You’ll find tips here.
