If you don't mind drawing your pattern the deli sandwich wrappers bought at Sam's or Cosco 500 to a box makes good pp paper.
I agree Carol Doak has the best instructions. I tried a few times then finally watched the video... made a HUGE difference , and now I love paper piecing..
I do use plain copy paper .. its handy and it works.
