Sewing scrap strips to PAPER
#51
Another source of foundation material is old white sheets from a second hand store. If you're careful, you can get some nice ones, and if they are the thin, polyester blend kind, they really make fine foundations and you don't have to pick them out like paper. Only drawback is they are not easy to see through. But it's good recycling!!

I have a sister who works for a map printing company. Once in a while I ask her to get me the end of the roll (for some reason the machines don't use the last bit.) Another thing that works is the packing paper you can get at moving van stores. Lots of companies now ship using this type of paper so it is free.
