I use used dryer sheets to make my string quilts.

I use deli-paper for foundation piecing. Cut it to size on my paper cutter and start filling each one in. It is my go to project when the frustration level gets too high when trying to FMQ, or just piecing at the end of the day.

You can buy "end rolls" from your newspaper office with a printing press on site. There is usually about 1000' on them and they usually cost between $2 to $5. They come in regular newspaper width or dink width (1/2 regular size.) Newspaper is clean and white and tears easily. Call and see if they are available.

I also use the coffee filters, I have some of the 15 gallon tea machine ones but can't find any to buy I can afford. I also used the cone one, cut them open and it make an unusual shape, great for corners. I have filters in all sizes. Anyone know where I can get the 15 gallon ones cheap?

I use everthing people mentioned plus newsprint end rolls that you can buy at your local newspaper office. End rolls are the part of a roll that is too short to go through the printer. Some newspapers give end rolls away. Others charge two or three dollars for the paper, which is neatly rolled on a center core. The paper will probably turn yellow with age before you use it up.
Teachers love end rolls for projects with students because it is inexpensive and they get to recycle it twice, once when their students use it and once when it goes into the recycle bin. froggyintexas

LOL - I don't use dryer sheets because mine are too small! When I buy a box of dryer sheets, I take them all out of the box and cut them in half, then stack them back in the box. I find half an unscented dryer sheet is plenty to keep away the static cling!!
