I think the tiny stitches must be the answer. I did the February BOM as my first real PP project. I planned to hate doing it, so I didn't buy special paper. I used whatever the kids have in the printer. I'd read many posts that said use tiny stitches. The first line I stitched with stitches so tiny the paper just fell off. After that I lengthened them a bit, but the paper was very easy to remove.

You'll love the CDs from Electronic Quilting! I have a couple of them and will probably get a few more. They are easy to use and I like that the motif size can be adjusted to fit any size block. I'll have to look into the paper from Golden Threads.

I don't like tracing patterns by hand on to paper so the paper has to go in the printer for me. Any paper that that you can sew through and you like is fine for paper piecing. It's all a matter of choice and budget. Foundation piecing is not paper piecing, two different things. I use any paper for foundation piecing, old phone books to gift tissue paper to used dryer sheets.
