Old telephone books work well, also. Just imagine all of the different blocks you can create re-using paper goods as foundations! <wave>

Well if adding machine paper will work for this you could use the kids doodle rolls of paper for a larger area.

Oh, for Heaven's Sake! Who knew! Well, you did, obviously, but i was being rhetorical.

i tossed rolls of that paper out recently, actually I gave it to Goodwill. Wait! Thats where we can find some!

i love it when I figure things out. Trust me, being in my head sometimes is a scary place.

A great way to use my scraps that are shorter.

Thanks!

Is that a golf T keeping your bobbin and matching thread together? Another genius idea!

Cool. Do you tear the paper off when you are done? It sound like paper piecing.

well this is foundation piecing not really paper piecing..pp you use lines to stitch on for making your pattern ..this just holds the fabrics flat and straight while you sew all those little pieces..good when you have some scraps that are bias etc
