My sister and I just started paper piecing and we are looking for the cheapest paper we can get that still works, any ideas? We're having a hard time paying for 100 sheets of it for over $10.00. They said you could use a cheap 18lb. typing paper but we can't find it.
Any other ideas????
Thank You

I also use normal copy paper (and I definitely didn't use the copier at work to make the copies....:shock: ). I've used vellum for a few projects, which I found on paper.com or something like that for a lot cheaper then quilt websites.

I buy Roselle Hands On Scribble Pad. It's looks off white so I guess it's a some kind of newsprint but it prints fine in my inkjet printer and tears away great from the fabric. I buy it at Staples and comes three pads to a package, 100 pages to pad for about $6. It has to say Scribble not Drawing on it. There are two different pads. It's in the kids section. The other drawing paper doesn't tear as easily. All I have to do is cut 1/2" off the width for the paper to fit my printer. It's long so I can get more patterns per page.

Here are the links to two different techniques that use freezer paper instead of copy paper.

I use it when I don't have ink on my printer.
