I buy the tablets of cheap Crayola kid's coloring paper, available at most discount stores. It's the weight of newspaper and kind of gray. It goes through the printer and rips away easily. I tried many other things but I always come back to this solution.

I have used 20 lb copy paper, and when you go to take it off, damp the seam with a Q-tip, it tears much easier, but again you should hold the seam to start....

I've been using plain printer paper & have no problems with it. I think it comes off pretty easily when you use a small stitch.

I am using the printer paper on advice and it is working out wonderfully, with the small stitch, I fold the seam over and it tears easily. Thanks you guys for some wonderful advice, not only is my ever accumulation stash reserve getting smaller so is the box of printer paper I picked up at Costco because someone wanted it. Thanks
