Hi Rosemary, I live in Norway and although I have bought some Carol Doake paper, I think the best option is to go to a moving company place and buy a pack of their packing paper. It is cheap and can be cut to size for the printer. It is also thin enough to easily take off after sewing. Hopes this helps.

I use Newsprint. It tears away very clean.

I'm getting ready to do the spiderweb top as well - as I'm working on my Dear Jane. I use the Telephone Book for my foundation paper, I used it on the Orca Bay quilt, and it worked great!

For inexpensive paper: buy a tablet of children's doodle paper. It's light weight, but heavy enough to go through a printer. Be careful of using phone book pages or newspaper, the ink could transfer.

go to quiltville.com and check out the instructions from Bonnie Hunter - very simple to follow and the results are great.

I just used thin paper I bought at the dollar store. I made sure it measured 9 inches and cut my square and then cut my diagonal triangles. then all you have to do is trace the template on to it.
