I bought an end-roll from my local newspaper for $5. It doesn't go thru my laser printer very well but it worked much better than the heavy printer paper on the Candlequilter Star I just made. It is probably more paper than I will ever use. It does have to be cut down to fit the printer though.

This is what I have, too. I use old rotary blades to cut it. Then I stack the squares, 4-6 layers, and stitch the pattern for blanks - don't thread the needle!

one the best places is go to a newpaper office. and you can get unfinished rolls for of paper the they can't use at a very small price and it is great for patterns and drawing on.

Painiacs, you might try some school supply stores, mine came from Office Depot. I did find some website(can't remember what the name of the site) that mentioned that Crayola sells a tablet of blank newsprint paper for drawing. I know some of the Walmarts' have a good size area of Crayola-brand products, you might check with Walmart. When I looked in Walmart I was looking for some off-brand and didn't know that possibly Crayola might have had what I was looking for. Chris
