for those of you that paper piece..
#43
I use the Carol Doak paper or cheap printer paper and print my foundations on my printer. I have great luck tearing both away. Recently I was out of state for an extended period because my son was in an accident and hospitalized. I ran out of handwork. I went to the local quilt shop and bought a couple of kits. They were paper piecing but I had no sewing machine in the ICU. I hand pieced the paper pieced blocks. I found water soluble foundation paper at the same quilt shop. I worked very well since I did not have to pull on my delicate hand stitches to get rid of my foundation paper. (Fortunately my son is now fine :-) ).
