As I've been working on my 'commission' to make a decorated top for someone, I cannot begin to tell you how glad I am that I had roll of PCFP handy.
Here are just a few things I've used it for on this fabric project:
1. To copy the design & transfer to the fabric.
I placed the paper side up over the design I needed to copy & used a fine point Sharpie marker to trace the lines I needed. Then I used a Sharpie to create the lines on the plastic face of the paper. I heated an iron (dry) & pressed the paper (plastic side against the fabric) to transfer the design to the material.
2. To add a watercolor look to the material I used a piece of PCFP as a pallete, swiped it with marker ink & transferred the ink to the fabric using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
3. I drew masks on the PCFP, cut them out & pressed them to the fabric so I could prevent ink from getting into areas I didn't want them.
AND...
While I'm not doing it for this project, PCFP makes a great way to reverse an image. Simply stamp on the plastic side of the paper & rub it on the surface.
Anyone else have additions to the topic?

Wow! This sounds like a big involved project! I don't have a clue about these techniques! :-\

Daniel sounds like you are having fun with your project.
Doesn't all freezer wrap have a plastic layer? I thought that it is the protective shield from one's food getting freezer burn.
I have used FW as the adhesive to adhere paper napkins to cardstock by ironing the "sandwich". Also can cut the FW as a mask or stencil and adhere similarly.
One can also make an inkjet printer transfer for fabric.

I still have not ever had any plastic coated freezer paper. I am interested in seeing the results of these techniques!

I honestly don't recall when I began using PCFP, but it was probably early '80s. Sooo useful for many crafts including quilting (iron-on templates).
Jan. I don't know about now, but when I began buying this product (Reynolds brand), it was the only freezer paper I found that has a plastic coating. That coating is only on one face of the paper & the other face is paper (somewhat glazed, but not plastic-coated).
