I'm making Union Jack blocks, the 4 quadrants of which are paper pieced. I was using computer paper, too, but it's more difficult to tear away. So I ordered Carol Doak's Foundation Paper from Amazon, 100 sheets, $7.91/pkg. It prints well and is easy to tear away.

I use Carol Doak paper and buy it when it is on sale. I have also used a vellum type paper from Office Max. I rather like it because it will go through the printer and yet is translucent and tears out cleanly and easily. I think there are lots of choices. I personally do not like freezer paper.

I took a class with Carol Doak and you really want to get her beiging paper piecing book her method makes it so much easier and no headaches. Her paper is wonderful and all I will use now. Believe me I tried all different kinds. This is her beginners book you can find it on Amazon. Show Me How to Paper Piece: Carol Doak: 9781564772046:

I bought reams 8x10 of newspaper off the internet. They go though the printer great.

I use newsprint a lot and have also used notebook filler paper which will tear easily. I made a small light box with a plastic container, a 5 inch piece of Plexiglas and a small light from Dollar Tree works great to get the fabric lined up correctly

I often use computer paper & to make sure it is right you just hold it up towards the light.

Oh, also I use a smaller stitch so when you tear it off it comes off easy. Also helps to fold it a little but not necessary. I don't have any problems tearing the paper off but it is a boring job!
