    I can not fine it. But they do have disolving paper for foundation piecing. I used some about 2 years ago and it washed out the first time I washed the quilt. I did not enjoy the paper piecing so I have not had the need for it now. I know it is out there somewhere.

    I agree = I would definitely take the paper off before layering the quilt.

    I use small stitching and have no problems getting it off.

    I would worry about the chemicals in the printer's ink. That couldn't be good for the quilt.

    I would aslo be afraid all of that paper gunk coming out in the washer would mess up the pump in your washing machine.

    I am fairly new to paper piecing, but after I have finished sewing my blocks I soak them in warm, slightly sudsy water and the paper just comes off so easily by gently rubbing the fabric together. I then rinse. So much easier that picking the paper away.

    I would be afraid if I were using white or light colors that the ink would bleed through onto the quilt.
