been doing this for years...if you do not use dryer sheets, you can ask others to save them OR you can go buy a lightweight interfacing and use that as well. Or really cheap walmart muslin! any foundation will work
PS dryer sheets are no more flammable than any other fabric!

I know of mixed media artist who reuse dryer sheets by melting crayons on it and spreading it out, or using inks and creating a one of a kind design. One lady has an Esty shop and sells it on there as paper creations.

My only concern using these in quilts is that these sheets have chemicals in them and they also are very flamable.
Not worth the risk to some other human being if there were to be an accident where it could catch fire.
Now I have seen mixed media artist use these in various forms of papercrafting, even using crayons, inks and such to create speicality paper with it.
I suppose one could use it in things like quilted purses, or wall hanging and such but don't think I'd chance it for a quilt someone would use.
