What a clever idea!!!

I just found out that one of those tall thread holders for cone thread works well for this.

I don't understand the part about using paper. I have done about the same thing as reversable quilts. Use a 10 inch square of batting then put a piece of fabric face up midway of the batting. Next piece is sewn on right sides together then flipped and continue until the batting is full. Turn it over and repeat same process. You then have a reversable quilt.

I assume you remove the paper after you are done sewing ? Or do you leave it on the roll ?

You remove it...comes off easily as adding machine paper is pretty cheap and i just mist it and steam press it..falls off practicallly

I just started sewing my scraps onto 2 1/2 in adding machine paper that's been hanging around for years. I made my first one yard piece yesterday. What a great idea and way to use up scraps. Thank you for sharing. I'm on a mission to make lots and lots of scrap projects.
