I'm about to start a huge paper piecing project and have been doing some research. Vellum is a great tool. So were do I get it. Scrapbooking uses thick vellum and I need thin. Do I go to the quilt store, craft store or office supply?

Good question. Office supply seems the answer to me. I will follow this one.

Personally, I just buy the cheapest copy paper I can find, it's a lot cheaper than vellum.

I just went to Staples and bought the cheapest pack of vellum I could find. Of course in this town you have Staples or nothing.

I just bought some at Staple too - wasn't cheap. You might want to check anywhere that has art supplies too.

I want vellum because it is transparent.
