One side is paper and the other has a light coating of a plastic which melts like wax when you iron it with medium temp iron.

Freezer paper is great for appliqué. There are several methods of freezer paper appliqué:

Draw your motif on the dull side, cut it out and iron it to the top of the appliqué piece. As you are appliquéing, you tuck the fabric under the appliqué piece, then peel off the freezer paper. You can usually reuse this piece several times. You can also draw your motif on the dull side in reverse. Iron the freezer paper to the wrong side of the appliqué piece. You appliqué as above, but just before you get to the end, you remove the freezer paper with a pair of tweezers. Or, you can iron the freezer paper to the wrong side of the appliqué piece then iron the fabric over the edges, giving you a crisp edge to appliqué. Remove the paper before doing so.

Freezer paper can also be used for paper piecing.

Freezer paper templates are great for hand sewing, too. For example, you can use them to make Grandmothers Flower Garden blocks. Print a sheet of hexagons on freezer paper, cut them apart and iron them to the wrong side of your appliqué piece.

Freezer paper can also help you to print on fabric. You can iron your freezer paper to the wrong side of the fabric, cut it to A4 and print on the fabric. The freezer paper gives the fabric just enough body to go through the printer as if it were a piece of paper.
