I have a few different paper pieced projects that are on my before the end of the year to do list. We don't have a Dick Blick here but maybe I can score a pad of it at Hobby Lobby - or just cut down one of the newspaper stubs... we'll see.
The last time I did pp I used regular recycled copy paper and had no problems ripping it at all but I would prefer to use the *right* stuff lol - newsprint works for me.
if you go to a uhaul place, they will have unprinted newsprint to use for packing paper... it is the size of regular newspapers, but i have been known to cut it up...
i always have it on hand...great for the grandkids to color on, or to make patterns with
