I use tracing paper not onionskin. I cut it down and put it through the copier. My copier(HP) does not distort, but I ALWAYS check the test square on each of my copies. It is strong and can handle a lot of "unsewing" :|

Beautiful star block. I'll have to get a copy of Carol Doak's book. Add another project to the growing list.

I just use regular copy paper which tears off easily if you use a stitch 1.8 and a 90/14 needle.

If you join Carol's group you will find lots of support for new paper piecers - we all love to help with questions.

I love Carol Doak patterns. I have a couple of her books and I belong to her yahoo list. She gives frequent free block patterns. Such a generous person.
