Did I buy the wrong kind of vellum? It was about a dime a sheet at JoAnns (I think I bought it in a pack of 50 sheets in the scrapbooking department) and I found it to be very tough and it pulled at my stitching when tearing it out. And, yes, I used a very short stitch just as I always do with copy paper. I love to paper piece but don't use the vellum I bought anymore.
