I just ordered this as well - and it works great for me. I put it through my laser printer and then off to sewing room I go.
Before that, I used the cheapest white printer paper, a very short stitch length and when removing it from the fabric piece (in the stubborn / tiny PP pieces) used a moistened Qtip which I ran down the stitches. That little bit of moisture softened the paper right at the stitch line and the pieces remove beautifully.
The upside to newsprint is it's down side as well - the newsprint is thinner and removes in a snap, but if you need to rip and resew a piece then the thin paper is not as durable. Do not get me wrong - I love it - but it is more fragile than printer paper.
