I have some of that paper but I used to use it as a table topper when I was painting tole pieces. I do like that idea of using it for border designs, but it is a bit stiff and I was wondering if it stayed flat enough to hand quilt over. I usually end up marking my designs with pencil and it does wash off. I have also used the washable crayons but the points are not sharp enough for me. Lots of good ideas here - just have to combine some and find out if it works for you.
