I got newspaper print from staples and it is pretty cheap it comes in big pieces so you cut it the size of printer paper I use rotary cutter so it is easy. Goes thru printer fine and it works great for pp

I know this is an old thread, but I am hoping someone will share their thoughts. I want to do a spiderweb strip pieced quilt. I have looked at Bonnie Hunters method and she says to piece on a white square of fabric. Is there some special reason to use paper first? Just to avoid the weight of the backing fabric? I just shudder at the work of tearing all the paper off

When I first did string piecing, I used newspaper squares. Ink made my hands dirty but didn't affect the blocks. I started to use very thin fabric for the background since I found I did not like tearing the paper from the backs of all the squares. Did I mention that paper bits were all over. Mine work fine with the fabric backing.
