I use regular printer paper because I copy for free or purchase most of my paper piecing patterns off the internet. I have also been told, but never tried it, that onion skin works well in printers and is easy to sew on. Sometimes I buy 8 1/2 by 11 paper tablets and use that because it is cheaper than 20 lb. printer paper. Whatever you use, have fun. Paper piecing is my favorite. And you have started out beautifully.

I decided to go look for the newsprint paper and found the following if anyone is interested.

I love to paper piece, too. I use the cheapest copy paper I can find or if Perfect Piecing by June Tailor is on sale, I'll buy that. It's okay to work with but I think my copy paper is best. So why use anything else, I don't have an answer for that. LOL..

I too love pp! I am starting a quilt for my sister with schoolhoused and log cabin blocks. It is easy to see how to break the pattern up for paper piecing - it will make those schoolhouses stand tall and straight!

Great job. I absolutely love paper piecing. When I update my blog, I have pics of some of my projects on my so not updated blog: 2manyhobbiesnever.blogspot.com. I really like that you can create projects using really tiny pieces of fabric and it's easy!
