Instead of having the pages spiral bound I punched them with a three-hole punch and put them in a view binder. When I took the books to the print shop to have the edges sliced off I asked them to save me the spine. I peeled out all page stubs and inserted the spine into the binder. I also inserted the front and back covers into the pocket in the notebook. This way I can pull a page of templates, scan it into the computer, and print it on freezer paper. No more tracing of templates - hooray! (At least templates that are printed on 8 1/2 x 11 paper). One could also put the pages into page protectors, but I decided I wouldn't be turning the pages enough that the holes will wear out. If I do I can always put them into protectors later.
Thanks for the great idea Sandra!

Thank You for sharing, I have not done much applique . I use the same method for my crochet and plastic canvas patterns, keeps them clean and flat.also works good for recipes. Happy Stitching,Amy
Ahhh, a beautiful solution!
Good Idea. I've been putting magazine pages in notebooks for years; but I chose big notebooks and now find they are really cumbersome to lift.
Oh this is a great idea! I am not sure I could convince myself to do it though :(
But it sounds like such a timesaver!
Neat idea. Thanks for sharing. Question..how do you print it on freezer paper. Do they pkg it for printers or do you cut your own?
I read through your last several posts and you really have some lovely works in progress. I have three now that I work z little on each month and it does keep it interesting. Good luck on yours.
