Pellon Stitch n Tear
#11
The Stitch and Tear is non-woven. It doesn't really stretch. I usually guide it with my fingernail as I'm tearing away. I've never noticed any distortion. I it wouln't hurt to try a sample piece and see how it handles. :)

but don't you think you could have achieved all of that without the freezer paper, you're only using it as a guide for your seam line. if you can sew a straight 1/4 inch seams you could have done the same thing.
i've never pin fabric when sewing, paper piece or otherwise.
if you're following the method i know you don't sew thru the freezer paper at all nor does the sew section stay attached to the paper.
so its providing zero support in the block - so anything that you can do by that method you can do without it just use a 1/4 foot on your machine to achieve accurate straight seams.

I have just been to the mid-appalachian quilt weekend at Mount St. Mary's college in Emmitsburg, Md. One of the classes that I took suggest two for foundation piecing. One is EQ foundation paper ( you leave it in the quilt. It just adds to your batting. Felt very nice. The other is Stable Stuff. Not as 'soft', but you can also leave it in.
