That's a great idea. When I was first taught to foundation piece it was onto fine dressmaking vilene which you leave in. I have never used it in a printer but ironing to freezer paper is ideal.
I have used Ricky's stable stuff for small things and found it really good. However when tried a more complex paper pieced pattern, I found that when I made a mistake and unpicked some stitches the stabliser with the pattern on came apart/split. On that occasion it happened on my first row of stitches. I wouldn't want it to happen on the last and have to start from the beginning again.
When I started making my square in square in square boxes I used fine vilene, and got really bored drawing all the squares up by hand. After I got my printer, I printed up the design on a sheet of A4 paper, which I then put double sided tape around the lead edge and sides of the design, I then stuck the nearly to size vilene over the printed design and ran it through the printer. I was then able to remove the printed piece and replace it with a fresh one for printing, I must have done at least a dozen or more on each piect of paper - I worked with 2 of them, 1 printing whilst re-setting the 2nd one, it worked really well for me.
, but I am unsure what products are available to us in the UK? ( and can be put though a printer?). I have had a good look through the quilt direct site but confusion reigns!!
