My daughter keeps freezer paper handy for many of her quilting/fabric art tasks.

(This is that handy household item that’s plain on one side and slightly waxy on the other. We called it waxed paper when I was a youngster and used it for wrapping sandwiches, covering bowls in the refrigerator and a heavier version for wrapping items for freezing. There were no plastic baggies nor plastic wrap available.)
Penny Halgren has a great article, Using Freezer Paper to Make Quilts, at her How to Quilt site that gives information on using freezer or waxed paper for quilting…for tasks such as applique and making templates.
It’s available at the grocery. However, many quilting supply stores carry it now.
How have you used this paper for your fabric art?

We don’t have freezer paper here in Australia. But I found a way to make my own freezer paper. I iron the cling wrap and plain paper together. You can see my little tute here: http://sewlovesew.blogspot.com/2009/09/experiments-on-homemaking-freezer-paper.html
I use it to make stecils on clothes.
