Paper Piecing should NOT be icky...

I can't thank you enough for your idea. I just finished the blocks for my first pp quilt. Used the stitch on the paper and soaking to get it off at first. Then I tried your method and am hooked on it. What I really like is that I can use the pattern over and over, no waste. I like that a lot. So, keep your ideas coming.

My friend and I are working on a spider web string quilt...got the tutorial off of Quiltville. We decided to print the pattern on the copy machine and use that paper as foundation. When we tear out the pieces of paper...the stitches come undone... yes, we shortened the stitches. I am used to using muslin as foundation for string quilts....but since this pattern requires more precision and we feel we need the foundation...can we put the quilt together and then soak off the paper afterwards. Any help would be appreciated...thanks...

I use copy paper a lot and don't have a problem. I have used newsprint and found it works well. One suggestion since you are using muslin as a foundation would be to cut the muslin and freezer the size of your copy paper. Iron muslin to freezer paper and print pattern onto the muslin side. Sew strips to muslin pattern, ha way you have no tearing off to do.
