Thanks guys. It seems that wax paper is pretty popular. One lady told me it can leave a little waxy residue on your fabric. But I think I will try a little sample piece. I have lots of tissue paper so I think I will try that too. I don't think I can get the doctors paper kpalombo; but thanks for the info. (I would love to see a pic of your quilts.)
I am not sure I will be brave enough to show the results, as it is my first quilt job other than a stitch in ditch. (I am a bit of a perfectionist.) Thank heavens it is going to my mother, cz they always tell you it's wonderful!
