Imho newsprint is the easiest paper to tear off. You can get it a Dollar store, usually in tablet form. I have also heard of ladies getting newsprint scraps from a Newpaper printer's office. Good luck, and have fun!
(Just my thought, but “newspaper print” is quickly going the way of the dinosaurs, our local paper has gone, come back for a year and now is gone. Everything is available online now.) years from now reading the words “newsprint paper will be like discussing “buckram” is to us. Just my thoughts. Carol Doak has a yahoo group you can join to enjoy some of her patterns free if you join. I love paper piecing as long as it is not too small and fidgety.
