    I buy my parchment paper at the dollar store, a 1x25 foot roll. I use it for a lot of things.

    In quilting since I have vision issues I will often draw my design on the parchment paper and quilt through it. I can see the lines so much better than anything marked on fabric (especially since my quilts tend to have a lot of small pieces and contrast) and there is the added bonus that you can't see when I go off line. Works best with a long arm but can be done with a standard machine too. The paper is tough enough but tears through the stitches easily.

    You can use it for foundation piecing, better than newsprint or copier paper. It is clear enough that you can easily see through it for tracing.

    I buy the parchment paper in sheets. Easy to line a sheet pan or use on the ironing mat. No curls like the rolls do.

    On a baking website, I learned how to deal with the curling ....
    Crumple it up some ... for amazing cooperation after that!

    Besides, the rolls are considerably less costly than sheets.
    Plus with the rolls, you only need to use what you really need,
    rather than wasting some when it is too big for the baking pan being used.

    Re: Fork Bow Just look on Google or Safari under "Fork Bow" It looks a little tricky but after 3 or times it's a cinch.

    Thank you all for info re: parchment paper. My ironing board and iron have adhesive all over them - for the last time!

    Parchment protects surfaces from adhesive

    I've only known parchment to be used in Pergamano card making, & lampshades, so this baking thing is new to me. Would also be good for EPP & applique shapes.

    If you've never heard of Pergamano here's a link

    Lovely work ... quite impressive.

    Here in Canada, we find parchment paper in the grocery stores,
    alongside waxed paper, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, and the like.

    I agree with you. I use them for baking. Also, I have limited use of my left hand and tearing a piece off of a roll is difficult. With the sheets there is no tearing and no dropped boxes while trying to tear.

    I was just watching this this morning:
    https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=fork+bow

    I have used parchment paper for ironing too, and, in a pinch, I've drawn (traced) fmq designs on it, pinned it down & stitched on top of it. Tears off pretty easily.
