What type of paper does everyone else use?
I'm looking forward to another PP project.
I have always used printer paper or freezer paper and hace been quite pleased with the results. However I just ordered some of Carol Doak's paper on Amazon and am using it today for the first time. It is much thinner and it is easier to pull away from the stitching before trimming with 1/4" ruler. I saw her demonstrate in a video how easily it comes off at the very end. BTW she recommends leaving paper on until the blocks are finished and connected to something else.

Check out the quilt along on this board called "50 fabulous paper pieced stars" for more paper piecing bliss!
