I reccomend Vilene instead. No tearing away after sewing. Just wash or dip in water and it instantly desolves. 1 yd (36"X60" - $7.00)

I just walked over to a local paper supply store and got two reams (1000 sheets) of UV/Ultra II translucent paper
White, 8.5M Weight, Smooth,for my paper piecing projects. Regular copy paper just is not good enough. I just printed out a sheet and it ran thru my home machine beautifully and it is so easy to see thru and stable. Regular price around $33 per 500 sheets and Arvey Paper in Indianapolis has it until the end of the month for approx. $ 23. The product number since there are different weights is 01379 and I think it is Neeman Paper. Very tiny print. |
Can you get Grease proof paper in the States? it's used for cooking or baking and is usually sold on a roll over here in England, and is like tracing paper but better, or Baking parchment, either would be ideal,
Good luck in your quest, |
The rolls of 8lb tracing paper at Dick Blick start at 3.99 for 12"x20yds and go up to 14.54 for 36"x50yds.

Yes, I believe it's called wax paper here.

Charlie, I don't think it's Wax Paper...that wouldn't work for paper piecing. I think she is talking about cooking parchment paper.
