Lightweight interfacing is what the French ladies at my quilt group use; and the pieces for the Dear Jane are teensy weensy. Their work is meticulous, next time we have a DJ day I'll take some pics.

I've actually traced a pp pattern onto muslin and used that. no tearing out afterward that way. hand quilting wouldn't be a tight enough stitch to tear the paper away when done though.

I am also wanting to foundation paper piece, but hand piece it. And would love to know what interfacing to buy to use? And would fusible work well?
There is a trivet in book Patchwork Please that I want to try |
And would muslin work?

Years ago I did paper piecing with hand stitching (with coaching), but grandmother had me cut the pieces without seam allowance (we ironed freezer paper onto cotton).
