I have to correct Murphy1 stating the authors of Material Obsession 2 are from England. Sarah Fielke is definitely an Aussie girl and living here. I watched a great DVD with her doing the quilts from her books, she has a great color sense, and the quilts are so easy, great for all quilters. The DVD was a promotion for a Aussie magazine, called Quilters Companion they put out a DVD with each magazine, promoting a quilter or technique, I have learnt and "met" so many teachers this way, without having to go and do classes. My side of Australia, the west, is tooo far away for overseas, and Aussies teachers come and teach, so we do miss out on a lot, and if someone does come like we had Kaffee Fassett
do a trunk show, I had to book 6months ahead to make sure I did not miss out, it was great.

that is a great price. i never see prices like that around here. that's much better than copy paper on sale and much easier to tear off. i wonder if that's a stock item. is that the name of the store? Dollar Store? or is it a dollar store?

I use regular copy paper (usually the cheapest I can buy) and short stitches. Using a spray bottle of water, dampen the paper when you are ready to remove the paper. It comes off easily when wet! I would think that dampening would help with any kind of paper.

[QUOTE=DawnFurlong;4904524]I have to ask - what is the folding method?[/QUOTE
Here is the link for the folding freezer paper method. The only way I do my PP.I attach both the top and bottom ofthe freezer paper on a sheet of copy paper by pressing with hot iron ( about 1/4 of an inch is wide enough) so it will go through the printer.

I just had a brain fart. I mean a light bulb turned on when I read the post about using newspapers or phone books for the paper piecing. I worked for U-Haul before I became disabled and they sell wrapping paper. It is made out of newsprint, paper that is used for newspapers but does not have ink on it. It's clean white paper. Although, you would have to cut it down as it is the size of a newspaper and the best part is that you would not have to worry about ink getting on your fabric allowing you to use light colors. They sell this in a ten pound box for approximately nine bucks, this was the price a couple of years ago. Just an idea.

The website here has a good tutorial on how this technique is done: http://www.twiddletails.com/store/in...age=page&id=21
The biggest advantage to this method is not having to tear off the paper backing. It saves time from that standpoint. Even if I am going to stitch on the paper I find that folding on the lines helps when it comes time to remove it. Also scoring along the stitching line with the blunt side of a seam ripper will facilitate in the removal process. Ann in TN
