Hi reading your messages about paper piecing paper, I've used a tracing paper pad from the grocery store. The thinner the better is what I like. The cheap printer paper works well also. I have Carol Doaks paper piecing paper, I got 11x14 (50 sheets)but it's expensive ($12.00) and don't think it's any better than what I've listed here. There is also good tear away paper you can buy too and a dissolving paper that I really liked too. . It was good too and thin. Spraying water works great to help tear off without distorting the seams. You don't want to pull on your stitches too much. Set your stitches to smaller than regular stitching on a quilt. Helps when tearing off the paper.
Well that's my 2 cents worth, hope it helps you.
