Not really, it's just when you press it the paper turns black, but only the paper.

When you first start what size do you cut your strips to?
Then do you get to a desired length before you use a ruler to trim the edges?
At what length do you normally stop to trim the edges?
Thanks, Pat

My till rolls are a fraction over 3" so I cut my strips to about 3.25 - 3.5 and anything from an inch to 2/5" in depth. I normally take about a couple of feet x 2 so I can chain piece, any longer I get in a tangle :roll:

Has anyone tried that cheap paper towel stuff on this? You know, the stuff in public restrooms where it feels like tree bark? <snicker>

Second question, is the paper hard to rip off? Does paper stay under the stitched areas when you tear it off?

Im new to quilting and I have never paper pieced before.

Thanks ladies and Sue for this wonderful ideal!

I have only used the adding machine paper..i use a tight stitch and steam press it when done and the paper comes off easily

I found some very inexpensive paper on a roll in the paint department. See this link for a picture:
