Do you know where to get the 250 pices of 10 inch square foundation papers she is using i the video? The only foundation paper I can find is the 81/2 inx11 in ones.

I was looking at that one too but I bet it is pricey.

I use newspaper for paper piecing. It's really easy to remove - and it's free (well, after hubby has read it).

I can't remember for sure but I think it is an Oliso and it raises itself so as not to burn anything.

I do the same with scrap only sew on muslin. Then I don't have to remove paper and it can be used as a summer quilt by just putting a backing with it and quilting it. If you want a block that is more "wonky" use different size strips and strips that aren't straight.

They also sell it on sale for $199.
I can't remember but not on sale was over $250 I think. I also bough the paper and the lapel glue stick she talks about. I was charged $5 shipping but I ordered thread. I hope I got an OK deal on the thread. I needed some and thought, O well why not buy it from them it is onsale.

It is an Oliso. It doesn't shut off every time it raises. It just raises up on a little stand so that it doesn't scorch anything. When you grab the handle it retracts the stand. I think it does shut off after a certain length of time when it isn't used---At least my Oliso does.
