Sorry if this is considered a "bump" I'm new here and have been reading back a few pages. I have some vision issues and I regularly use parchment paper (for baking) that I get at the dollar store for machine quilting and it is strong enough to hold up (better than tissue paper) but still easy to tear. It's 12" by 25' roll, pretty sweet for a buck! I mostly make bed sized quilts so is usually 1+ rolls for me, still a bargain. I use my friend's quilting machine/frame (pfaff P3 power quilter -- no computer/grace frame), she does not have the back handles and so I can't just use a pantograph but I can copy the design from a bought design on to the parchment paper pretty easily. Or at least much easier than I can see the lines marked on the top. I want to do fancier designs that what I can do with my basic vision and I am not (yet!) a gifted freehand quilter although I can do basic stipples with stars, flowers, hearts, etc. So when I have to spend the time to copy what I want, I consider it well worth it. I have found that you really don't want to go off the sides of the paper, too often it will scrunch up and get caught in the foot, so it's best to try and keep the designs within the 12" of the paper. Be warned that tearing off the paper is messy (the little pieces float about everywhere) and sometimes can be difficult to get it all off, usually rubbing with a fingernail will get off the spare chads.
