paper piecing wash away foundation paper
What is the best kind of paper piecing wash away foundation paper. I would like to print it on my computer printer, paper piece, then wash away without tearing away any paper on the back. I would be using it on the Dear Jane blocks. I have seen several kinds what do you think works best?

I love the Sulky fabricsolvy for embroidery, but I wouldn't use it for foundation piecing either. I would just use lightweight muslin and leave it in. I have a spiderweb quilt I am working on using the muslin.

I wouldn't use use muslin as a foundation fabric for a Dear Jane quilt. The blocks are so small with so many seams that I think the extra bulk would be a problem. I have used Paper solvy. I have heard of other people using a tear away water soluble stabilizer (don't know the name). With that they recommend removing the majority of it, and then the remaining bits wash away. I had bought a bolt of a supposedly disolvable stabilizer that I printed my quilting design on and quilted through. That was less than successful. It really did not disolve as well as the paper solvy.
However, I just found this link that might shed some light on the best choice to use.

the one that i use is Dritz Quilting WashAway foundation paper- it comes in packs of 10 or 25 sheets. my lqs orders it for me. it is fairly expensive- but for dj blocks which are small you may be able to get a couple blocks from one sheet.
