Does anyone have a favorite paper for paper piecing--something easy to rip out?? Thanks

I like scribble paper from Dollar Tree the best of the ones I have tried!

I never would have thought of this. Does it work like the expensive foundation paper I've been buying?

my all time favorite is parchment paper. my next best is newspaper.

In my own opinion it is easier to tear off! I did not care for the June Taylor or some of the others I bought and they cost alot more!

Try the paper at Costco that is called Handy Wacks. It is dry waxed paper that comes in sheets of 500 - each being 12 x 10 3/4 inches. It is in a box and is meant for use in the foodservice industry. Works great.

Great tips- Thanks!

I just finished the blocks on my 1st ever pp project. I just used regular printer paper and reduced the stitch length on my Juki to 1 click below 1. It came off very easily.

I bought a block of artists' newsprint at Office Depot a couple of weeks ago. It works just as well as the name brand quilter's paper and costs a lot less. I do have to trim it, but I don't care.

I usually order a package of the name brand quilter's paper every time I order from Connecting Threads, so it's less expensive that way, too.

I just found this last week on eBay:

It's a bleached newsprint - not bright white like copy paper, though. Soft and easy to tear.

I have to trim it with the paper cutter to fit in my printer, but I get 500 sheets for the same price as 100 sheets of the stuff that's made for quilters, so it's worth it.

I bought four reams, so that should hold me for a while. :)

Free shipping and I actually got this paper the day after I ordered it, which is amazing.

Try this - no tearing at all!:

I just use scotch tape and tape freezer paper to printer paper. Face down in the copier/printer tray and it comes out just fine. The FP templates can be used many times.

I use the cheapest copy machine paper I can find. Don't forget to shorten your stitches.

This is what I do and never had a problem with tearing paper out.

Thanks for the tip. I am going to try them.

This is the only way I do mine, only instead of scotch tape, I press the bottom edge and the corners (about 1/4 to 1/2") with my iron to the printer paper. I guess it depends on the printer how to make the freezer paper run through smoothly.

Printer paper from Staples...their brand...set your machine to 1.5 stitch length and no problems tearing off.

I use Kids "doodle pad" at Walmart. Your have to cut it down to fit the printer but it tears right off.

I use freezer paper. It goes through my printer without any problem. I use double sided tape to tape it to regular copy paper. When I sew the pieces to it I fold it back to cut the seam allowance and then iron the fabric to the paper. That secures it so I can sew the next piece.

I like newsprint from paper.com. Got an entire bundle of 1000 sheets for under $20 about a year ago.

I love using freezer paper.

I like this. It's been a while since I've done paper piecing. I had some copies made and the paper they copied on was super thin. I didn't even know paper came that thin, there way of saving money I'm sure but it would work great for PP.

I've heard of but never searched for/found paper for paper pieceing that is supposed to disolve when it's washed but don't know any details about who makes it or results others have had.

I use old phone books. Free and tears easily.
