Where to buy preprinted paper for paper piecing
 
I've been searching for a site that sells preprinted paper for paper piecing. I can find lots of the paper, but I don't want to print it all myself. Any suggestions?

I think inklingo does marking but I don't know if it's on material or paper.

I think the only way to buy something preprinted would be to buy a pattern like something from Judy Niemeyer. You can usually find patterns at your LQS or you can go to Judy's web site http://www.quiltworx.com/

I have only seen specific pp patterns with the pre printed papers included. I always make copies of the pre printed papers so to save the original. Patterns only give you one paper per piece so if I mess up there goes the only copy.

If you want preprinted papers for piecing generic things like HST's, flying geese, etc. then you might look at
Triangles on a Roll - http://trianglesonaroll.com/products...triangle-paper. I'm pretty sure there are other similar products out there, but I can't remember the name.

Thangles come in different sizes.

You could try this. I love doing it. http://www.quiltnbee.biz/shop/Block-...5-x7562107.htm. This is pretty easy. I have used other paper than freezer paper. It's a matter of securing that first piece.

Thangles! That's the name I was trying to remember! Thank you.

Are you asking about pre printed PP patterns? I think that Carol Doak may have some. Judy Niemeyer does have patterns also but they can be quite challenging.

Most people print their own patterns. I do using EQ7.

Thangles are for HST's, not paper piecing. Well, now that I think of it, I guess you are paper piecing if you use those, or Triangulations, like I use. OK, I learned something today, I am paper piecing when I do HST's with my triangulations printed paper.

There is a product I saw used by a person at retreat called Stable Piecing foundations. They come printed with various blocks, shapes or patterns and can be purchased here: http://farmlandquilting.net/stable-piecing/ I have never used them but her quilt was beautiful and accurate. Good luck.

I have Triangulations which lets you print any size triangle or flying geese, love it. Also found newsprint reams on Amazon cheaper than the paper that is made for paper piecing and works fine in my printer.

rosiewell 10-10-2015 08:35 AM

I just photocopy the pattern on regular copy paper, it works just fine for me.

I have to ask.....do you not have a printer is why you don't want to print it yourself?

I don't know how to get this posted. Looking for just setting instructions for Quilters Basket quilt from JoAnns. They cannot help me after much research.

Inklingo can be done on paper or fabric. I think it depends on your printer, though most can handle fabric these days. You have to adhere the fabric to freezer paper. Here is the info from her website: http://lindafranz.com/section/paper-pieces-to-print/140

waltonalice 10-10-2015 02:21 PM

Inklingo prints on either paper or the actual fabric, for either hand or machine sewing. There is some waste of fabric some of the shapes, but what is printed is both the cutting and sewing lines. If you are trying to sew triangles to squares, the extra part of the points of the triangles are automatically cut off, so it's exceptionally easy to match the triangle to the square. The sewing lines for circles include "marking lines, which makes it easy to make Drunken Path. If you go to the site, there is a free set of templates that you can download. If you have questions, you get almost immediate answers. The hexagon templates come in at least six sizes; you don't have to make paper inserts and you can sew the sides with running stitches, instead of whipped stitches. There are also templates for Millefiore patterns and even for Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Solstice.

dbaehr, you need to post your request in the section called "In Search Of", which you'll find if you scroll down on the page where the "Main" section (this one) appears at the top of the list. Post there the same way you did here. Good luck in your search.

there is also the software for hst, I have both cd's on is, each has different sizes, the second one goes down to 1/8 inch which is great, I used it alot for cival war quilts.

If you have the pattern, you can scan it thru the printer and keep cutting and adding and scanning until you come up with enough pieces to fill a sheet of paper and then print it on the printer. Of if you know someone with the Brother scan and cut they/you can either see if its one of the built in designs and print it or scan the pattern in and the machine will let you decide how many pieces you want and then print it out too. either way would work

I saw Legacy by Pellon at the quilt show in Des Moines. It is foundation piecing rather than paper piecing and is for like flying geese and there were several block patterns also. You do tear it away but it seemed to pull away very nicely without pulling the stitches. Also they had a compass block quilt on display that 5 or 6 different quilters had completed and it was amazing how accurate and precise all the blocks were. None of this 1/4 inch seam problem. Just stitched on the foundation. I found it amazing for the blocks that were already printed. I think each made a 12" block and you decided how to put it together. Of course, none of the sets had copyrighted patterns like Carol Doak's or Niemeyer's. I asked if it was sold by the yard and she said the product requires a special printer so you can't buy it and just use for something you copy.

Pennyhal 10-14-2015 10:44 AM

Thanks for all the info! My search skills seem to be lacking.

I did not know of some of the links posted, but some of them have just what I needed. I used to be able to buy printed paper piecing paper by the bundles at quilt shows, but not anymore.

Yes, I should have posted in the ISO section. I apologize for my mistake.
