234253Thank you for sharing your Glad freezer paper, the bunnies look great :)

2346Merci beaucoup pour le lien. Je vais m'empresser de faire quelques lapins pour poser sur le tapis d'éveil que je crée pour ma petite fille Courthney (6 mois). Amicalement.
529Oh they are SO CUTE !!! I went to spotlight the other day and didn't find anything in the 'fur' section that expensive. Just wanting to see if I could find it on sale LOL. Yep $70 is very expensive. You did a GREAT job on the little bunnies. :)
Happy Easter!

Thanks so much. This was bought at the Spotlight store in Newcastle - it was $69.95 a metre, but as I said I only got 1/2 a metre. It's in the fur section along with the fluffy fabrics and felt on rolls. Love Chris

Thanks . I will still look out for this fur whenever I go to Spotlight. My girls have a beautiful bunny with floppy ears and she feels gorgeous, so it would be wonderful to recreate that feeling. Fluffy has floppy ears too. So cute. :D

Hi Nadyne, I thought it a wonderful tip and coming from one of the teachers, you can't go wrong. Love Chris
2442445917All your bunnies are adorable, and thanks for the tip on Glad go between I will give it a try. I just downloaded the bunnies, can't wait to sew them.
4823Chris they are really cute. Love the fur ones. Hugs Lynn.

2110787043Do you hoop stablizer under the felt, my felt seemed to shift some?? Love all your bunnies
by pennifold
12 Apr 2014
Hi there Mlbell, first of all, I hooped tear away stabiliser. Then I placed a piece of fur fabric on top and used the Fix stitch to keep it in place. I then put the plastic film on top of the fur and used the Fix stitch again to keep it in place. And yes, I added the names before putting the backing on otherwise the egg wouldn't fit into the bag. Good luck with whatever you do. Love Chris

I tried to emb. just on the felt to make the bunny but it wasn't stiff enough, so I thought it must need stabiliser under it, thanks for confirming that question and also putting the film on top. I really like all your bunnies
333178092These rabbits are adorable. Thanks for the tip on Glad Go Between. Will check it out. We used to have many years ago Freezer Paper on a roll here in USA. I haven't been able to find it anywhere. My husband was a big fisherman and we used the paper to wrap fish for the freezer. I know that quilters here also used it. I took a quilting class in 1976 and the quilt is still in my head.lol It was all by hand stitching and I prefer to use the sewing machine/emb machine. I used the freezer paper to make patterns . olds/Maureen

Hi Olds, I get my freezer paper at Wal-Mart in the aisle with the wax paper, plastic wrap etc. It is always on the bottom shelf and only one row wide. Hope that helps.
3294I love all your rabbits Chris. Thanks for the tip. Shirley
526767588Thank you Chris for that tip. I have never heard of that product but will look in Woolworths next time I'm in there. The bunnies look gorgeous.

Thanks so much and I'm sure you will locate it. It's a brand that is very well known. Love Chris
782Love then. Chris did you use the Go-between on to ?

12 Apr 2014
Hi Sandra, yes, if you look you can see what I've done in picture 1 and 3. Love Chris
46645Very cute made with the fur! But I am gonna stick with felt for my batch - easier for them. I did the same as you - I used greys on white with a blue eye.
11257275This product isn't available in the US, but I've used Glad clear wrap on towels when stitching out a very stitch intense lighthouse design from Embroidery Library and it worked great.
Muffy :)

and bet the wrap thing is another item to ask for and drive the shop assistant crazy here in Germany (could try Wollworth and keep my eyes open on local brands) thanks for the info, Chris

Hi Muflotex, I'm sure you can get GLAD WRAP ITEMS anywhere in the world. Just remember that it is freezer film that you place between meat to keep them from being stuck together. Love Chris
20463Thanks for sharing this great tip! Cute bunnies…all of them.

Thank you Ladies so much I looked on the sight but didn't find the bunnies Chris 25 years at the same office as an assistant I have been very blessed and all you Ladies here are so helpful and kind to share all your talents I am greatful Thanks a Million Tracie
571These are so cute!! I love the personalization as well!! Great idea with the Glad wrap as well!
3074Nice tip. I use Glad freezer paper all of the time in applique (not the machine type), but I haven't noticed if we have the Go-Between. I'll be sure and look.
Cute Bunnies and brave you to have fur flying for Easter. ;)

11 Apr 2014
Thanks Jerrilyn, there are many things I think us sewers can use, if only we had the time to find them. I love using fur, but yes, you are right, fibres all over the place! Love Chris
158552excellent love them also great idea with the glad go between film
239Excellent tip! Thanks Chris its on my shopping list. It will be cheaper than WSS, I use a lot with doing towels and baby blankets and I hate that I have to wet it.
I love your Bunnies, they look Great!!

Hi Didi, yes, isn't it great what's out there? I would never have thought of using it, it's amazing what people will come up with to make things easier. Love Chris
466665925thanks for the tip Chris. Love your bunnies too, even though they are an absolute feral. Like the fox and the cat. Why Why are the ferals so jolly Cute!!! Makes getting rid of them so difficult.

Dear Vicki,
Yeah, I know what you mean, especially out there in South Australia's farming land. Love Chris
16529Lovely bunnies and thank you for the tip on the gladwrap.
6476Excellent pieces, and I love the personalization. Thank for the fur topping tip, looks easy and affordable! Thanks

Hi Chris, well I thought it wonderful and it's so easy. I had concerns that it would just fall apart once the needle pierced the film, but it didn't. It was wonderful. Love Chris
173580These are so nice, and thx for the tip will also look for the inbetween glad wrap, like the other have never seen this but will look for them, thank you all for the tips you give us, we appreciate

You are welcome 'Dupsilly' and anytime I find out something that I think can help all of us on here I'll gladly let everyone know of it. Love Chris
2092Chris these are lovely. We have Glad here but I do not think we have that one. I will have a look. Do you use it like WSS? Hugs Sarah.
by pennifold
11 Apr 2014
Hi Sarah, yes, it's like using WSS except you don't wash it off you just pull it off like you do the tear away stabiliser. It's wonderful and made it so easy to sew the fur fabric. Thanks for commenting, love Chris
253102I have been using this for 17yrs ... works like a dream on towels..love your bunnies

I must add.. I do not use glad but get mine from my local butcher..it is very much the same thing
4758Love your bunnies! The names add such a nice personal touch.
12185Very cute bunnies especially the furry ones. Thanks for the tip too.
86901Your rabbits are very nice, I love the name on them!
23281I have Glad freezer paper, but have never seen the "go between" that you are showing in your pics. Will look for it next time I go shopping and thanks for the new idea! Hugs and blessings.
by pennifold

Hello Penny, yes, this is more like a glad wrap. Apparently you place this between your meat when freezing separate pieces. Say for example you have 4 steaks, you just place a piece between each steak. Great idea! Love Chris
2819very cute bunnies Chris ,the fur ones are extra sweet

Well only 5 will use them as Delphi is only 6 months old and Chase is 5 months old. But, the others will love them, I'm sure. Love Chris

Hi Tracey, yes, I'm only putting in one of those smaller Easter Rabbits. Love Chris
12407Looking good, Chris! Does the freezer paper tear away easier and cleaner than the WSS topping?
by pennifold
11 Apr 2014
Hi Kim, yes, it just rips off. With the WSS you've got to wet it to remove it, my WSS doesn't teat easily. Love Chris
by dragonflyer
11 Apr 2014
Thanks, Chris...I will have to check and see if we have it here...I have the bags for freezing small portions or using as layers in between meat, but I have not seen a roll...

119790Clever ! How did you hear about the glad product? Does it work better than embroidery topping? i am sure it is probably more reasonable.
by pennifold
11 Apr 2014
Hi Kay, yesterday at Sewing guild one of the women there told me that she heard it from a good source. It was one of the teacher's who does machine embroidery!!!! Great to hear of these tips, isn't it? Well, I'm glad I used this stuff as using WSS wouldn't suit as the fabric was fur and it would get wet. Love Chris
85867What a clever idea. A couple of years ago I had to make a Santa Suit and looked everywhere for white fur for the trim. Got it at Lincraft not as expensive as yours but the fluff sure goes every where especially up the nose while cutting. Lovely job you have done with the Bunnies and I like that they all have names.
by graceandham
11 Apr 2014
When I bought minky at the fabric store, the clerk who helped me said, when you get home, take this out of the bag while still outside and shake it a lot. Leave that fluff dust outside for the birds to make their nests, not all over your sewing room.
by pennifold
11 Apr 2014
Thanks Babash,
I was wondering whether I could put the fur fabric in the fridge to see if that would stop it flying all over the place! I just shook the bunnies outside after I'd finished them. Love Chris
by pennifold
11 Apr 2014
Grace, I do that with all of my soft fluffy fabrics too, it saves having fibres all over my sewing room. I forgot to do that with the hessian (burlap) and we had red and green fibres everywhere when Amy and I made Christmas stockings! I've since learned!!!!! Love Chris
29723We have that freezer paper here in the dollar store i never thought to use it .Next time i use furry fabric i will think of you Chris.Thanks for the tip hugs Carolyn
Oh my i forgot ;Love your bunnies wheres hubby's and yours???lol
by pennifold
11 Apr 2014
Thanks Carolyn, I bought mine at one of the IGA (Independent Grocery stores) for only $3.85 Australian. I'm sure you can buy them from Coles and Woolworths here too. I'm not sure of your grocery stores in Canada. I don't make the Easter treat bags for us. We usually only buy the kids. Love Chris
360366Ms Chris, these are so cute, like the idea of the names on them. The two extra furry ones are for cuddling as well as Easter. They do look soft. Am I to understand you used the glad film as a topping, stitched over it and then took it off? Leaha
by pennifold
11 Apr 2014
Hi Leah, yes that is why I showed you in Picture 1 the paper on top of the fur. Then the third picture is with the design all stitched down. Once it's all finished you just rip off the film, dead easy. Love Chris
