Plain wrapping tissue actually tears away from the seams nicely -- and it is large enough for any size block. It's a little more difficult to trace the pattern, but worth the effort for the neat results.

I'm just beginning the foundation paper piecing, and love it! I used printer paper, and it is way too thick, I had to go to a size 14 needle, and make the stitches a little longer....I read you are suppose to use tracing paper. That makes sense to me now.

you could cut squares of muslin and use those...then you have any size you want...are you drawing your designs? usually paper pieced patterns are printed (which is why copy paper is used) patterns are usually in 4th's pieced and joined to make a whole block. if you use muslin you do not have to remove the foundation, it is another layer of the quilt
