I like to use freezer paper. That way the fabric sticks to the backing as I am sewing. It tears pretty easy, too.

I have the 12" ruler ... and no, I don't really find it any better than the 6" one!

I use whatever washable glue stick is cheapest at the time.

I prefer to use newsprint or Big Chief tablet paper as it will run through the printer without jamming but the easiest peeling paper I ever used was the old typewriter paper. It's hard to find it now, though. Thin copy paper is as close as you can get to it now.

I still haven't tried the removable freezer paper type. Still on my to-do list.

I just eyeball my seam allowance, fold back the paper and trim with embroidery scissors after every piece.

Check out a book by Cheryl Malkowski, "Blocks to Diamonds". She's come up w/ a way to use freezer paper and not have to remove the paper after you stitch because you don't sew thru the paper. You stitch w/a threadless needle first thru all your patterns on the sew line, press pattern to fabric,then fold on the perforated line and sew next to the fold. It works so slick!

I dont like the 12" either, just thought you might find it easier to use. I dont know how anyone does PP without the postcard and the ruler. Thats the way I learned from Carol Doak and never tried anything else as successful. I teach her methods in classes with great results.

I agree...love those rulers have both the 6 and 12 and use them whenever I PP

I use the 75/11 neeedles so the holes are small and perforated...also use a ruler that was designed by the quilter who taught the class at the Mancuso Quilt festival -George Sciliano
