I have had good luck with just regular printer paper. A couple of years ago I designed a complicated spiral to use in a snail's trail quilt. I took it to a copier and had enough copies made to do the whole quilt. The trick was, I wadded the paper up really tightly, smoothed it out and did that again. It broke the paper down enough to make it easily removed after quilting and wetting it.

its a mom/pop type operation that has some really great prices, the service is awesome, and they are both as sweet as a peach - whenever i can i order from them.
every now and again they have a special that if you phone in your order they send you a surprise goodie bag with the order.
the last time i did this, i got 2 packages of machine needles, 2 packages of hand quilting needles, fusible velcro, a nice seam ripper, etc.
