I have somehow ended up with an excess of wax paper. I was wondering if there was anything I could do with it, and then I remembered Joanne's Crayola Quilt lessons. The directions say freezer paper but I was wondering if wax paper will work. What do y'all think?

No, wax paper won't work the same. The freezer paper is ironed onto the back of the fabric to stabilize it so you can color on it. Wax paper does not give the same type of stability the freezer paper does.

Waxing yer floors? Hmmm.. I thought quilters never waxed anything, but maybe their eyebrows. :whacky:
Happy sewing/quilting/crafting
