Newsprint is a certain weight of drawing paper:

No ink on it unless you add it. I have a pad for messing around with rulers.
When the first computerized sewing machines came out, we used to use adding machine tape until Sew Perfect came out. This was a fabric stiffener that washed out. If you want a liquid, dissolve some washaway stabilizer in water. You can spritz it on.

I get newsprint from the local newspaper. You can buy leftover rolls for $1 a roll, which has thousands of feet of paper left. My paper uses 2 different sizes. The large, 2 sheet rolls and the small single sheet roll.
This works great. Also good for my grandkids to draw and paint on.
