I started out with copy paper, then moved to newsprint, then freezer paper, and now I only use vellum, because that's what works best with my technique.
I no longer sew through the paper. I use a single little dab of glue stick to stick the vellum to the fabric. Then I fold the paper right on the line (and this is where vellum comes in handy, because you can see the line through the paper) and I stitch right next to the line. When I'm done with the block, I pull the vellum pattern off the fabric and reuse it. Saves paper, and I don't have to deal with ripping it and cleaning up all those little pieces.
