I use regular old tracing paper for paper piecing. It's light enough to sew on and real easy to tear away.

OH MY GEE.....what a marvelous brilliant awesome idea.
(running to grab the dryer sheets now!!!!!!!!) THANK YOU for that idea. How clever is THAT?????? I love it!!

I also love everyone's ideas....and YES my paper is new exam paper! LOL
Im an RN so I know better. lol
I just think the dryer sheet idea is great.....where did you learn that tip or does your brain just come up with great ideas???
Will the phone book paper print (black) bleed onto you fabric?????
Thanks so much!

So looks like I will be using paper and dryer sheets, to see which works best. Gonna take a LONG time.....this quilt....as its gonna be for my king size bed.

Don't forget coffee filters for nice round shapes. They tear easily too, at least mine do. I got 160 for $1 at the dollar store.

You can go to your local newspaper and buy a partial roll of newsprint. Very economical.

So far, I only use it for scrap quilts, but I haven't noticed any ink transfer. If it does, it washes out. Probably would not want to use a whole lot of lighter colors just in case.

LOL...i wish they made square filters...i dont sew round stuff ha ha

I hope you are joking there! Fill the circle, make it square. Using coffee filters is awesome.

Thank you for asking this question. I have never paperpieceded before and Im thinking about doing it. I was wondering about the paper too. :)
