I know what she means, but I guess different people's terminology varies... I would call it "fusible interfacing": that white, thin fabric like stuff that isn't woven and has glue on one side that can be ironed on fabric. I've used that for my latest quilt to piece part of a NYB block. I didn't run it through the printer, though, but used a marker to draw right on it.

Another thing I have used is tracing paper. You can buy it at michaels it is very similar to the expensive stuff, but isn't.

I just use that cheap paper that office supply stores give out with certain purchases. I have bought specially made paper and all it really has to do is rip cleanly.

I usually use cheap printer paper. Make sure you shorten the stitch length, then the paper is easier to tear off and you do very little damage to the stitch.

I have always used copy paper. It didn't pull my stitches out and what little bit was left I could grab with a pair of tweezers and I was good to go.

I use tracing paper. It is thin and not too expensive.

Thank you for posting this question. Just starting paper piecing, so I bought a Carol Doak tablet. I'll be wiser next time and go with the newsprint tablet.

Amazon newsprint is the best and cheapest I have found! The other foundation paper I have bought was 100 sheets for $15 and the newsprint works better!

Vellum tears easier then any of the paper and holds together. No tiny bits. I ordered one ream of translucent lightweight vellum online some year ago and the paper company sent me a CASE of it. They said keep it! All my paper piecing friends got a ream of vellum that year for Christmas. They still talk about that. LOL

I use thin sew-in interfacing and then I don't have to remove any paper
