I just use regular cheap copy paper, if you could find the eraser typing paper it would probably be even better, but good luck in finding that. I'm not sure I'll ever get done with the WIP that I'm doing in oriental type fabrics. I just figured out how many I would need-225-WOW. Maybe I'll just make my Japanese friend a wall hanging.LOL

paper foundation piecing
I had this great idea to sew down the edges 1/8 inch from the edge to keep the pieces from flopping around. Not a good idea. A real challenge to remove it after piecing the individual squares.
I have learned so much the hard way. Seemed like such a good idea at the time.javascript:emoticon(':?');

thats so true - foundation piecing has taken over the term paper piecing and English paper piecing has to have the English in front of it.
do you do all your work by hand? maybe thats why the 2 paper piecing styles are used - one is for hand piecing and the other is by machine.
