another paper that I use came from Home Depot. It is the paper that is attached with blue tape with some gizmo to mask for painting. The role is 9" wide and there is a lot on it. I also used florist tissue paper which comes in large sheets (I bought a whole bunch at a garage sale). One side of that is smooth and more slippery but using the back side worked and it was easy to remove. My friend took phonebooks to the Fedex office and had them cut into 6" squares for use in foundation piecing.

Here's something I discovered.
I was making some string blocks for a charity recently & was looking for some other type of paper to use for the back (to tear off). My DD is a chiropractor & uses disposable face cradle paper on her table. I got a roll from her recently & tried it & it worked great. It's thin, soft & tears away very easily. If you are in good with a doctor or chiropractor, they may give you a roll (or the end of a roll) every now & then for your string blocks. I bet that paper that doctors use on their exam tables would work great also.
