I just recycle regular copy paper from my printer and print my patterns on the back side. If you use a denimn needle or make your stitches small it pulls off easy.

That is a real good idea. My DH is always printing stuff so that I can read it later. I am going to use that paper too .TIA

Wow! These are interesting answers! I ,too, am planning for my first PP project. The project is a request from my daughter for my grandson and I want it to be very nice. Thank-you all for sharing your experience.

Forgot to add I have used newspaper but only on dark fabrics to strip quilt. You have to iron the paper first to set the ink. someone posted a thread about newspaper end runs (paper) that you could use that has no ink.

Linda, I've purchased a Doodle Pad from wm you will need to trim down the sheets to fit your printer, but works and is easy to remove from your blocks after the sewing is complete. Another option is special paper designed by Carol Doak, whiched I'v purchsed in the past through Clotilde. There are other products on the market, but they can geet quite pricey for a large project. The Doodle Pad is light weight newsprint paper and serves the purpose very well.

I buy newspaper roll ends from our local paper. They used to sell for $2.00 each. The last time I bought any was about 5 years ago. We used it for crafts, to cover tables, for the kids to draw pictures on, etc. it's great.

At the dollar tree, I get about 20 to 50 pages of light colored paper that fits perfectly in my computer and is thinner than my regular computer paper.

How about your old wrapping paper/tissue that they use for gift wrapping?
