I use paper piecing paper from JAF, if the pattern is small enough to fit. If it's bigger, I use muslin.
|
I also use plain old cheap printer paper. Shorten stitch length to about 16-18 stitches to inch and it tears away very easily.
|
I do this also but have other papers, some from MSQC. This way like Peckish is just so thrifty also.http://www.quiltnbee.biz/shop/Block-...5-x7562107.htm

I use the cheapest paper you can find in the office supply store. They use to give a rim of that paper with a minimum purchase.
|
I use freezer paper from the grocery store. Love it! Just use the iron to tick it to printer paper and print the template on it.
|
Newsprint. It tears away easily which helps in tight areas.
|
dickblick.com has reams of newsprint paper. 500 sheets per package. My printer has no problem feeding it through and its only in the neighbor hood of $3 something a ream
|
I, too, use copy paper, short stitch length. But, before I tear off papers, I fold it on the stitch line to "weaken" the paper. No problem removing it. Teeny bits left over? I use a tweezer to remove them.
|
I learned in a paper piecing class to run a tracing wheel next to the stitches, it perforates the paper for easy removal.
|
I found foundation paper on Amazon, 500 sheets for $15. Works great. Can use a smaller needle and no trouble tearing off the paper.
