Our local newspaper sell end rolls for 1.00 each. They're great to have on hand.

Anne this is where I got mine. I bought 2 reams because the shipping was the same for 1 or 2 reams. It is so handy!

]I work in a school. They quit using that paper with the double lines on it I used in kindergarten. They were going to give it to the kids or throw it out. Makes great paper piecing paper. I have seen it in the school supply aisle. I never look at the price. I'm not sure I will ever have to buy it again. I have a big pile of paper

I've seen this (old lined writing paper) at the Dollar Store - not Dollar General but the ones where everything is $1. Our newspapers won't give the end rolls any more, they recycle it.

I've also been told that you can ask your doctor for the end of the roll on the paper they put on the exam tables. I've not had first hand experience but it's worth a try.

I am riding along in the car reading the board. When I saw your post, I went to their website to check it out. When I searched for a store, the only one in MO is in St. Louis. We are on our way back to Independence from (you guessed it) St. Louis! LOL Wish I had read this about 3 hrs. ago. LOL

Sorry about that, nstitches. Dick Blick is one of the greatest stores/websites on earth. I'm a third generation customer.

They also sell fabric paints and dyes, Intense pencils, Shiva Paintstiks, fabric markers and crayons, any kind of screen printing supplies you could ever want plus much more, all at great prices. Their fabric surface design department is growing just as fast as the interest in the genre grows.

I decided to try my hand at paper piecing so after I read this thread I tore out several sheets from a doodle pad from Dollar Tree and used my ruler and rotary cutter to trim off 1/2 inch from the side. It fed through the printer just fine and is working great for the Mariner's Star I am piecing. I am guessing you could probably trim as many as 20 sheets at a time. Harriet Hargraves says she uses her rotary cutter all the time to prep her blocks and it doesn't dull the blade. So 60 sheets for a dollar seems cheap enough. I still have to see how it tears off.
