I just think the dryer sheet idea is great.....where did you learn that tip or does your brain just come up with great ideas???
Will the phone book paper print (black) bleed onto you fabric?????
Thanks so much!
Foundation piecing has been around longer than any of us.....it was how they SAVED their scraps in the old days so as not to lose them!

AT yard sales/estate sales/thrift shops, I am always looking for the OLD carbon paper, onion skin typing paper, etc...they go through the printer just fine for paper piecing patterns!
I have even used the newspaper end rolls (free at most printing places, just not MINE), the medical end rolls(free at my base clinic), ironed tissue paper, you name it! IF you can sew on it, you can foundation piece on it!
