I've heard of old patterns being used and I don't see why they couldn't! I've never tried this but plan to someday....

I use deli sandwich paper (15x15 approx0 purchased at a big box store. I cut it to paper size and it runs through my printer easily, but I only feed one page at a time.

I was at Walmart today and saw reams of notebook paper on sale for 82 cents. It's thin enough to use for string piecing.

Lots of ideas on this board. Love it!

These are really nice. I bought a package when it was a daily deal.
