I bought it as it's the only thing they have, but I can return it if you all say that will not work at all.
I ran to Office Depot real quick and they only have 1 choice as well, and it's 30 lb. paper, 50 sheets, $9.99.
Return it, I bought some at Staples not for paper pieceing however and 29 lb is too heavy. I tried it when I first learned about the vellium paper. The weight needs to be around 17 I think. I know anything 20 or higher is too heavy.
I got some at Staples also and thought it felt a lot heavier than the paper Klue so kindly sent me samples of. Won't that be nice if this is the reason BR2 and the center strip in E-12 made me crazy and didn't turn out right? I'm glad I ordered the paper from the RaNae store Klue recommended. I almost didn't, thinking I have fifty sheets which will carry me. Now I wait for delivery, try Carol Doaks which jams, or work on that lovely applique piece D3 that I can practice being a cozy quilter with. I'm not experienced with applique but thought when I took the class for this project that it is very relaxing.
It's like a winter wonderland here in Chicago. I love it! Have a good day girls!
