Bjdemir, thanks so much for the suggestion of the kids' tablet paper, will give that try.When you change from the regular printer paper to the tablet paper, do you have to make any changes on your printer to accept the thinner paper? I normally buy 88/20 printer paper, its the cheapest paper Walmart sells and it seems to tear away easily, as long as I use a high stitch count like 1.5. One thing for sure, you don't want to have to remove any of those stitches though, they are so tight!
I never thought I'd enjoy paper piecing because I tried once a long time ago and I don't remember why I was so frustrated; but knew it was the last thing I wanted to learn how to do. I started working on a wallhanging with 6"blocks using small pieces; found the only way to get accurate piecing with small pieces was with paper piecing. It made a huge difference. Happy Easter everyone. Chris
