Don't forget freezer paper, old spice jars to hold small stuff, and of course the ol' coffee mug.

What do mean "release paper" ? have you ever tried in your printer to print out paper piece patterns??
I do lots of PP and have tried all kinds of paper. I don't think the parchment would work because the ink wouldn't adhere to the finish. I use the cheapest copy paper WM sells.

I picked up some cheap prnter paper from Big Lots. The kind with designs on them . These had cats. I find its easier to tear than regular white paper no matter how cheap .

Hmmm, I wonder if you can run it thru an inkjet printer?? Anyone know??
Not sure if the ink would smear on the way through. For what purpose do you want to print on parchment paper?

And I use it. It is handy. i always know where it is and my husband doesn't mistake it for a piece of junk and throw it away. They get helpful at the most inappropriate times

I used parchment paper when I did a Celtic Knot wall hanging. Traced the pattern on parchment, then lightly ironed my bias strips to the pattern. When I was finished, I could gently pick up the whole piece and position it on the fabric. Because of the over/under action that is part of the design and ironing (as I constructed it), the celtic knot was pretty much done. Nothing stuck to it and it was easy to adjust as needed. This is a link to a previous post (with pictures).

San Antonio, TX. Drinking coffee and reading the board. My favorite time of the day!
