Sure you can use fabric with a print! The only challenge I've ever had with paper-piecing and printed (particularly stripes or directional) fabric is when what I'm piecing has to have all the lines going the same way. Say it's a star like Tim's medallion star, and you wanted lines in the fabric to flow from center to point. If it were template-pieced, you could "fussy cut" each piece. When paper-piecing, you have to be sure your fabric lines fold out and lie straight after they're sewn. It can be a bit of a challenge, but not impossible! Always fun to experiment-- :lol:
