You know, it sounds tacky, but a roll of toilet paper works very well in the same way but without the gumminess - and any little bits that don't tear away just dissolve in the wash. I like it for borders. I draw out the border on the length of toilet paper, pin it to my quilt sandwich and stitch through it. Scott tissue works best because it is a little more substantial and not so fluffy. I have also used paper napkins. You want the cheapest napkins, unfolded. It really does work well!
