It is also super for cleaning windows. Doesn't streak and cleans exceptionally well. A professional window washer told me to use blank newsprint, but newspaper works also. Glad to know it is good for paper piecing as well!!! I get it from storage unit busnesses.

I simply purchase the vellum sold in my local Office Depot. I know other quilters use a certain weight/thickness, but I'm not sure what that number is.

End rolls are probably cheaper, but I have bought kid's tracing paper at a store we have called Fred's. It's 8 1/2" wide, but I had to put the end through my paper cutter to make it 11". It's great for paper piecing, tears easily. And if it is a little longer or shorter than 11", it still works in the printer with no problem. It was a buck per tablet.
