I tried Carol Doak's foundation paper, but it wouldn't feed into my printer unless I hand-fed it one sheet at a time. That was a pain. I thought it was too flimsy and easy to tear. My regular multi-purpose printer paper works just as well. Just be sure to set your stitch length to a very tiny stitch and it should work fine. The short stitch perforates the paper (as in, tear along the dotted line), and it's as easy as anything else to remove when you're ready.

Anyone besides me ever use Dr.'s paper. You know that awlful stuff you have to sit your bare bottom on in the office. I got a roll from the nurse who also is a sewer. It had a torn area on one end and she just gave it to me. It is great for tracing large patterns and can be used for paper piecing. Check it out the next time you are sitting there waiting for the Dr. :)
