No, it's just the web, no paper. You can iron it between two sheets of parchment paper and then remove one sheet and it becomes paper backed fusible. Because the parchment paper is reusable, Misty Fuse still works out to be cheaper and it's supposed to be the lightest weight fusible available (don't know if that is compared to Soft Fuse or not though).

You can also transfer cutting patterns directly to web once it's been fused to fabric so you don't really need paper backing once you get used to it. Scraps of just the web can be used to baste quilt sandwiches as well. Pretty versatile stuff.

MF comes in black, white and ultraviolet. The UV irons on white and dries clear (like the white), but it's treated so it does not turn yellow over time like so many of the others do. The fusible turning yellow can alter the color of the fabrics it is bonding.
