I have been using 20lb computer paper from Wal Mart 500 sheets for 7.99 and putting it through my computer printer. Works well but I haven't tried it yet with the no sew method. I will let you know if I find the other stuff in my travels at a reasonable price!!!

Oh very colorful, bright, cheery! Love it!

I've done a little paper piecing and do enjoy it. Just the other day I did a search for paper pieced pattern (free) online and found so many, I used a lot of ink in my copy machine...I use fast draft to print too!

Thank you for sharing with us!

I have seen one demo, where you fold the paper back and stitch along the edge of it....could that be what you are thinking???
