and that ream needed shipping....I bought 300+ for $15.00!

All of hers were see thru, just the darker colors like navy, hunter and burgundy were harder to see through...but for beading thru, iron-ins, etc, I think this will work and if not, there is always card making and the girl scout projects, and the YWCA projects..it won't be money ill spent that is for sure!

Except you can't see through the thick stuff for placement on your fabric and I'm not sure it would run through a printer.

I have used a few things for paper piecing. Yellow pages was recommended for strip blocks. I used those until someone recommended doodle pads from the dollar store - they are the bomb. You have to cut them down, but that paper just snaps off - it is so easy. My husband is a graphic artist and is looking at buying it in a cut 500 ream. I just copied Jinny Byers newest quilt pattern BOM, which is pp. There are 13 blocks and I printed the first instruction page in regular paper and the next pattern pieces in the doodle pad I had cut up. I've always hated to pull that darn paper off, but the doodle pads are sooo easy - and way less than vellum. I've got a ream of vellum here - never thought to use it.

Has anyone done this?
How well does it work?
I am wondering because there is a liquidation sale going on today that has scrapbooking stuff and she has tons of vellum paper for sale 12 sheets for $1.00! I thing all of the lighter colors should work!

Then do you quilt over the paper designs?
Can you tell I'm just starting machine quilting?? :D:D
