I've used Carol Doak's, copy paper, vellum and doodle pads from the dollar store. The vellum I got was evidently not the right kind; it was a nightmare. Copy paper was okay, but not easy to remove. I like Carol Doak's, but the winner for me is the doodle pads from the dollar store. I use a paper cutter (the kind for scrap booking) OR an old rotary cutter to cut them to the size I need. Have run through the printer w/out any problem at all. Tears away easily (I do reduce my stitch size when paper piecing).
