I use freezer paper. I use a highlighter to mark the paper side of the freezer paper before I cut out the shape I need. The water soluble marker does not work well on the wax side of the paper. I just make a bunch of squiggles on the paper side. Saves my iron. 
If you need the paper thicker, just iron two pieces of freezer paper together before you cut the shape you need. I use an old clean cutting board. I put the wax side down, then the wax side of the second piece of freezer paper down to the top(paper side) and iron together. Hope this makes sense.

I use those little annoying advertising cards that fall out of your magazine to draw my pieces on. If you have trouble with accuracy, do you have the pattern drawing....could you trace it once... and then using an unthreaded needle, trace the shape on your paper & then use an old blade and cut with your rotary cutter along the holes?

I really think they should bring out a range for EPP, perhaps we should bombard them with emails :-)
Sizzix and Cricut and all those scrapbooking die companies should look at this too. I should email them all!
