I am sort of new to this craft and have been doing a lot of reading and experimenting. I enjoy making quilts for my Great Grandchildren so far. I have looked into this paper piecing and tried it..did research and found there is foundation by the yard which is pre printed. Any comments would be helpful...thank you

Thanks for the information...I went on line to Foundation by the yard.. That is where I found the info. It is like paper piecing, but it is already printed. Right now I have tried copy machine on paper and it gives a perfect and I mean perfect block.

I design my blocks in EQ7, then print them out on regular copy paper, but I have found that using newsprint (the kind that comes in cheap kids' drawing tablets) works best for me when I have small pieces and a lot of paper to remove in small spaces. I use a paper-cutter to get it to 8.5x11 and then run it through the printer. I bought the expensive paper at my LQS a few years ago and didn't see much difference between it and the newsprint.
