But I still hate tearing off the paper, so I use batiste, which is lighter weight than muslin. I f you put freezer paper on the back, you can run it through the printer also. Doesn't matter if it isn't color-fast. You only need the pattern until the block is finished. There isn't enough ink to cause a problem with bleeding.
