If you are making string quilts or crazy quilts don't forget you can use your old fabric softener sheets from the dryer and you don't have to peel it off. It is a perfect foundation and they smell good too!

I'd be careful about using the fabric softener sheets. I think there is another thread that talks about the flamability of the sheets. So for foundation for a wall hanging, they may be okay, but not for a quilt to wrap your grandchild in...

I hope your paper piecing is going well. It is a slick method when you get the procedure down.

I don't use dryer sheets but thank you for the idea. I just have to finish up my current project (which will hopefully be this weekend) and then I can start to play.

Thank you everyone for your great advice.

Here is the only large project I have done in paper piecing.
It started as a class I teaching making only 4 blocks (16 squares). I was having so much fun I continued making blocks, made a mess taking out all the paper LOL :)

This is gorgeous! I know how paper piecing can become addictive. When removing the paper, just collect it and put it in your recycle bag. You are already shredding it!

It looks like you've received all of the answers I would give too. Thanks for the tute on the NYB, I've been "winging" the curves, now I can line them up. I use Carol Doak's paper and it works fantastic, but have used regular copy paper as many have suggested, as well as velum and that works great too. Good luck and have a blast, I am.

Hi, and welcome from Oklahoma.

never heard that, thanks for the info.
