If you know of someone in the medical field....I use a roll of paper that is used on medical exam tables. It has lasted forever!!

bought mine (light weight) in the art dept of hobby lobby (craft store chain). It is transparent. It is light but strong. Perfect for paper piecing. Hope this helps.

Great topic! I paper piece. What ever you decide will work best for you, I would get something that you can run through your printer be it inkjet or laser printer.

I just ran off six copies of 2.5" pineapple blocks with 33 pieces each. I would hate to have to trace that for each block. :-D :-D

I went to the local state college book store and had lots of unusual sizes and weights. Micheal's also carries it in the pad.

I use "Kabnet Wax" made by Dixie, it is unwaxed deli paper. It sews well and goes through the printer. I bought mine at BJ's I'm sure they would have it at Sams club and/or Costco also. It comes in a package of 2 boxes and each box has 500 sheets in it. total you get 1,000 papers for about $12.00 The papers are 12"X10 3/4". Although I got mine about 2 years ago , they should still have it. Great stuff!

I went to a medical supply store a few years ago and bought a roll of exam table paper like they use in Dr's offices for about $3. I saw the hint on "Simply Quilts". Best thing I ever did. It's great for PP. And it lasts for years! I'm sure it's more expensive now, but certainly not what you will pat in the other stores mentioned here.

What a fabulous idea. Thank you - I will have to try it.

Can you use tracing paper? That was what I was thinking
of trying.

Would onion skin paper work! You can see through it easily and it is cheap!
