Paper Panache has some great general instructions as well as some FABULOUS patterns. I bought a whole bunch yesterday.
I have not done paper piecing before but I sure am going to get into it now!

This may help you, I hope. It's a little different but it works great.

If the sandwich wrappers are larger than 8 1/2 by 11 you might be able to cut them to that size and then run them through the printer.

This is my favorite also. Haven't used the other method since I learned this. We call it "Paperless Paper Piecing".

I use a very cheap "tracing paper" bought in a tablet from Wally's. If you hold the iron on the paper side...most of this light paper will shrivel abit..so just press from the fabric side. I don't cut out the "shapes" prior to sewing...I cut strips of my fabric and then match my previous trimmed seam allowance. I fold the section back towards me to make sure the fabric will cover it all before I sew...that works (most of the time when I remember to actually do that). Keep doing it, it will get easier and more fun...and of course, it looks great!

I love to paperpiece and have gotten a Mini- iron which works perfect for me when paperpiecing. I do think your iron may have been to hot, but on the same token I know when I use my regular iron it tends to make the paper roll(no matter what type of paper I use) and with or without steam. I think these mini-irons( no steam what so-ever) run around 24.00-27.00. If you can afford it I think you will be pleased with it. they have a couple of heat settings and I usually just keep it on high.

When I paper piece I cut off the seam allowance on the paper, I add the seam allowance to the fabric, it's a lot easier getting the paper off if it's not tucked under a seam.

I just sew on the printed line.No sewing on the side like the freezer paper.I also use a add a quarter inch ruler.

I learned to pp the Carol Doak method. I use cheap copy paper and have never had any problem. Oh yes sometimes I have to rip out those tiny stitches because I did not line up my piece properly. It is not fun but doable, use tape to repair, and move on.
Just keep practicing. Either you will love it or hate it. I love pp.

Mine also...it's fun to see another colorway

Has anyone taken a George Siciliano class? His work is amazing. His best tip is to use double sided scotch tape instead of pins, the lump from the pin can distort the line.
