Thank you. I'm certainly going to try this method next time I decide to paper piece a project. I think I'm going to like better than the traditional method with regular paper.

Hi, I read this board faithfully every day. I don't believe I have ever posted anything though.
I wanted to say that I saw a tut of this on u tube and they use the stitch in the ditch foot to rub up against the paper without going over it. Gives you a more steady line to follow.

Thanks for the great tut. I love this method.

That is a good point, honestly I have never used this method with a laser printer. I did some research online and found this suggestion from Sew Wonderful:

Here is what to do. Cut a sheet of freezer paper 17 inches by 11 inches (the equivalent of two regular sheets of printer paper side by side, aka ledger paper). Fold the freezer paper in half with the shiny sides facing and insert a sheet of regular paper between the waxed surfaces. If you want to prevent any shifting of the layers, use a warm iron to baste the layers together. Now feed the paper through the manual slot of your laser printer. You can print on both sides before you separate the layers for use.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks!

Excellent!! I will definitely try this.
