I find that using Freezer Paper when sewing from a pattern makes life a little easier.
- You don't have to cut up your pattern piece
- You don't need to pin the pattern or use paper weights to cut it out
- You can easily reuse the traced pattern piece saving valuable time
So, here's how it's done!
To date, the most I've re-ironed a single pattern piece has been 10 times. I think it still has some life left in it as well so I'm sure I will be able to continue ironing it on for projects to come. Considering it takes less than a minute to iron a pattern piece on and cut it out, I'd consider this a success! And did I mention no pins or paper weights? What's not to love?
Do you use Freezer Paper to cut out pattern pieces?

Thank you so much for posting this method! I searched for the last 2 1/2 hours and could not find the instructions, was ready to just give up. So glad I didn't....thank you again!

great idea and will use it today! I have one question, does cutting this paper make the fabric scissors dull? thanks
