I agree...I just spent hours picking copy paper off a pp project. It was a class at my guild meeting and the instructor provided the pattern printouts....24 different patterns. I love the Carol Doaks paper. I'm new at pp but that copy paper just drove me nuts!

Remember whatever paper you use to make your copies from the original and not copies from your copies. There is always a smidge of distortion.

My old eyes like the visibility of vellum. Vellum also comes in pound weights and is not inexpensive. News print paper can be purchased by the ream from Office Max and Staples (look for 10lb weight). I don't know if reams of newsprint can be purchased at FedEx/Kinkos. Have you tried paper supply companies? In the Phoenix area we have PaperPlus. At the store locations you can buy paper by the ream vs the case.

It is good to know I bought the wrong kind! That explains my problems. I might try using it again after buying the right kind. I found that I like freezer paper for PP. I do the fold-and-stitch-by-the-fold method so that there is no ripping out from under the stitches.

News Print works great I buy it by the ream from Blick
