Comment ‘FREEZER’ for my free class to learn this Comment ‘FREEZER’ for my free class to learn this amazing paper piecing technique! 🌟

If your freezer paper is not sticking to your fabric, your iron might not be hot enough. 🔥

But be warned... 👇

You don’t want it to be TOO hot either. 

Use a HOT dry iron, and that should help your freezer paper stick to your fabric! 

The freezer paper needs enough heat to grip the fabric properly.

I also love using a wool pressing mat because it helps hold heat longer and makes the freezer paper stick even better.

When it comes to the quilting techniques, sometimes even a tiny adjustment can make a huge difference. 🙌

Quilters, do you ever struggle with this? Let me know in the comments and drop a ‘FREEZER’ below if you want to take my free class! 💌

One of my favorite things about quilting is how there’s always something new to try.

✨ A new technique.
✨ A new color combination.
✨ A new project that makes you think, “Okay, wait… that’s actually adorable.”

That’s the energy of the Fast-N-Easy Quilters Paradise Summit.

For an entire week, you’ll get to learn from 30 quilting experts sharing projects that are fun, practical, beginner-friendly, and completely inspiring.

Think quilted bookmarks, fabric boxes, mini quilts, coaster sets, bags, placemats, appliqué, freezer paper piecing, and so much more.

Basically… a very good excuse to spend the week sewing! 🪡

And it’s FREE. I’d love for you to join us. Comment ‘SUMMIT’ and I’ll Dm you the link to register. 💌

Freezer Paper Piecing Tip number ONE! ⬇️ We’re st Freezer Paper Piecing Tip number ONE! ⬇️

We’re starting off strong with one of my absolute favorite things about the freezer paper piecing technique. 

And it’s that you can reuse your foundations!! I’ve had a foundation that I used 20 or more times... 😅

I know it doesn’t seem possible, but this is proof that it is! 

Why make a new foundation for every single block when you just reuse ONE for them all? 

That’s the magic of freezer paper piecing. ✨

Follow along for the rest of my tips that make paper piecing way easier, and comment ‘FREE’ if you want to sign up for my free class! 💌

You know what I think a lot of quilters need more You know what I think a lot of quilters need more of? 👇

Small wins. 🧵✨

Not every project has to be a king-sized quilt that takes six months to finish. Sometimes the most joyful sewing happens when you sit down, make something fun in an afternoon, and actually get to enjoy the “ta-da!” moment quickly.

That’s exactly why I’m so excited to be co-hosting the Fast-N-Easy Quilters Paradise Summit this month.

We’ve gathered 30 incredible quilting teachers to share projects that are creative, approachable, and genuinely doable. Think: 

👉 Scrappy projects
👉 Gift-able makes
👉 Home décor
👉 Bags
👉 Coasters
👉 Mini quilts
👉 Freezer paper piecing

And so many techniques you can immediately use in your own sewing room. It’s free, it’s online, and it’s packed with inspiration.

It’s like a week-long quilting retreat without leaving your house. 😉

Comment ‘SUMMIT’ to get your free ticket! We kick off next week! 🎟️
