I can not fine it. But they do have disolving paper for foundation piecing. I used some about 2 years ago and it washed out the first time I washed the quilt. I did not enjoy the paper piecing so I have not had the need for it now. I know it is out there somewhere.

I agree = I would definitely take the paper off before layering the quilt.

I use small stitching and have no problems getting it off.

I would worry about the chemicals in the printer's ink. That couldn't be good for the quilt.

I would aslo be afraid all of that paper gunk coming out in the washer would mess up the pump in your washing machine.

I am fairly new to paper piecing, but after I have finished sewing my blocks I soak them in warm, slightly sudsy water and the paper just comes off so easily by gently rubbing the fabric together. I then rinse. So much easier that picking the paper away.

One of these days when grandson tells me what to do, I'm gonna take several pictures and put them on here. Barny

I want to see that quilt! You just piqued my curiosity.

The ink really worries me.

I would be afraid if I were using white or light colors that the ink would bleed through onto the quilt.
