I'll see. When you use cloth though you have to do a lot of pressing.

Fax paper is @ 8" wide and you often can find it cheap at yard sales or thrift shops

GREAT idea now I just have to find it. :lol:

Be careful with thermal paper, it has chemicals in it and can break down fibers.

If you can't find the 3" paper rolls I think you could use lightweight interfacting cut to that width and just leave it on. No ripping off of paper!

VERY interesting! Thanx for the original links of your projects. I had missed them.

That's a great idea. I picked up 5 yards of light weight interfacing for 2.00 I may use that.

easy to use the non thermo side and you take it off right away...for everyday quilts you ue a lot there is definitely no problem..I have done some about 9 yrs ago and they look like new...not use it maybe for heirloom quilts
