I love to paper piece and have found that I prefer vellum over all other options for 2 reasons: It becomes somewhat brittle after ironing and is very easy to tear from the blocks if I'm using the sew-through method of pping. It's also somewhat translucent, which makes it easier to find the seam lines if I'm using the fold-and-sew method of pping. Either method, I'm covered.

My tip: placement of fabrics are key. I prefer the light/dark placement, I think it's more effective and dramatic.
