Hi all..............can someone make some suggestions on what type of paper i can use for the foundation piecing, please? I want to make a 12 inch block. Any help is appreciated. Cheryl

typing paper - the kind you use in your printer works....it's a little harder to get out of the stitches...but will work!

I just buy foundation paper when it's on sale but regular paper works too.

you can also use pages from an old phone book...lighter weight than printer paper....and no matter what kind of paper you use, shorten your stitch length a little so that it will be easier to tear out the paper later.

I use Carol Doak's foundation paper.

Thanks everone for the suggestions but if i use typing paper, its not 12 inches. I'm confused. thanks

Ditto.

I think most pp blocks of that size will be 4 smaller blocks sewn together.

I bought some cheap (really thin) printer paper at the dollor store, works much better. Your 12 inch block will mostly be made up of 4 parts. So you will use four smaller parts to make your 12 inch block.

I use a roll of newspaper print, it is around 44" tall :D
You can get them from your local paper, they usually sell these roll ends for a fairly reasonable price :D:D:D
