weezie, that's a great idea!

I use 16 pound typing paper. You can usually find it at an office supply store. It works very well in a copier so you don't have to trace your pattern. Also, it is very easy to remove.

I use the Carol Doak paper or cheap printer paper and print my foundations on my printer. I have great luck tearing both away. Recently I was out of state for an extended period because my son was in an accident and hospitalized. I ran out of handwork. I went to the local quilt shop and bought a couple of kits. They were paper piecing but I had no sewing machine in the ICU. I hand pieced the paper pieced blocks. I found water soluble foundation paper at the same quilt shop. I worked very well since I did not have to pull on my delicate hand stitches to get rid of my foundation paper. (Fortunately my son is now fine :-) ).

For my classroom, I used to get roll ends of newprint at the local newpaper office. They gave it to schools, and perhaps charged a minimal fee to others.

Freezer paper in 8.5 X 11 inch sheets? Where to you find that??

I print the patterns on regular printer paper. I don't have a scanner. I'm usually printing the patterns from one of many sites I've found that offer free patterns.

you can buy letter size freezer paper online at a couple of online quilt shops or your LQS might carry it

i found vellum papera at the office supply store the other day in a pack of 50 sheets for cheaper than my quilt store can sell 20. was looking for the cheap copy paper but no luch. the vellum was $13, thought that was reasonable.

I am new to paper piecing and tried J Tailor sheets. They are supposed to work with copiers and printers, but I have had no luck with copiers or printers. Does anyone have any ideas to get it to work?
