It kind of sounds like vellum, which is what I use for paper piecing. I also prefer the technique where you sew next to the line. Fold the pattern right on the sewing line (with vellum, it's easy to see) and stitch right next to it. No ripping with this method. I use a dab of glue stick to hold the fabric onto the paper.
