Thanks for the tip! I'm supposed to make a T-Shirt quilt for someone after Christmas, so this will be a great help. Now I just have to figure out what to charge

I use this yellow paper my DH has from work for drafting, no wax, thin, tears away too. maybe if you stop every now and then and wipe the needle down with an alcohol wipe the wax won't build up

Yes, I was going to mention tissue paper, although the waxed paper can help remove some stuff from the bottom of an iron.

Thank you so much for the tip. I am doing a TShirt Quilt. The first one I did the material stretched so bad I had trouble making the corners meet. So I bought lighter weight interfacing as it was also stiff. This may just take care of my problem. Sure appreciate everyone's pointers on here. They are priceless. I never miss this blog.
