I've recently tried PPing - I bought a ream of newsprint on Amazon (think it was 9.00) -- it tears so easily when removing! I print on my home printer using "draft quality" (less ink) and light paper. I have a 79.00 HP color printer/scanner - so nothing fancy. I sew with my stitches at 2.0, and it works great. It's sturdy (paper). I did try with thin copy paper, but even the thinnest copy paper was a wee tad thick (IMHO). I also use the newsprint to print out pdf patterns. It's my go to pattern paper.
