I use newspaper print all the time for pp. When Michael's has it on sale 50% off, or use a coupon at joann's. I either buy the normal 8 1/2 x 11 (approx, i think it is a bit bigger because I usually use paper trimmer to trim down), or I buy the large 18" x ?? tablet and can then get 2 sheets for pp out of each sheet in tablet.

That is all I have used, xerox paper or note book paper either lined or grid.

I tried copy paper too. I also hated it. Too hard to remove, even when I shortened the stitch. But then the blocks I made had 18 seams each. Now I only use onion skin paper. I have only been able to find it at Papermillstore.com. It comes in 8 1/2 X11 and also 25 x 38", if you had something really big to make!

That will work, but a trip to the dollar store can get you a pad of newsprint that is much less expensive and easier to remove.

Yes, I almost always use regular copy paper. Just be sure to use a size #14 needle (it makes bigger holes) and close up your stitches a little. I just crease the paper and remove, no problem.
