Tape and freezer paper templates only are used. Detailed  instructions about threads and needles are followed by paper folding techniques showing how to\u003cbr\u003e make the templates. Simple commercial templates can also be transferred to freezer paper. This is not continuous line quilting. The designs are often built up with pattern upon pattern and decorative stitching.
