Removing the paper is what puts me off PP, watched the mess my cousin made, that was enough. Jen

My sister takes it to her church gatherings. They grab for them! First come first served and she comes home minus the paper!

Never tried the Golden Threads paper. Will it feed through a printer if cut to the right size?

I wish that would work when I am trying to get the stiff paper off the back of my machine embroidery. I need tweezers and small scissors to get it all off. Most of the paper DOES end on the floor even with a trash bin nearby.

I use regular copy paper, a very small stitch and the PP technique I use means the sewing line gets creased twice so the paper comes out easily - even in the twisted log cabins as seen in my avatar which have 7 logs per a 6" block. I find it quite soothing to do in the evenings. I take out all the logs as I finish the block but leave the centre piece as it's labelled to identify the block. Like Amma says, if the fabric is dark then tiny bits left in will just dissolve in the washer. If it's light though, be sure to get every scrap out - I once saw a beautiful PP quilt made by a member here with cream fabric left with ink stains after she washed it - a crying shame literally. :cry:
