How about a video? I have not used regular washable glue stick instead of the lapel stick but I'm sure it will work. Just make sure it's the kind of glue stick that washes out ![Smile](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png)
The block I used to demo this was really simple but I used the same method to make the tiny bagpipe quilt I made and it worked perfectly so it's good for any size paper piecing project. Here's a link to my mini bagpipe. You can tell it has a lot of really really tiny piecing. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t236873.html

At my office we receive tons of faxes every day and most people use a cover sheet. I keep a folder near the machine and if there's no personal patient info on the cover sheet, the staff saves all the cover sheets for me. I also use the exam table paper if I'm tracing large pp blocks that won't print on my printer.
To illustrate how much paper is wasted: we were off for a long 5 day week-end. When we came back to the office there were hundreds of faxes on the machine. At the end of that just one day, I had over an inch of cover sheets!

I use Ricky Timm's Poly Stable Stuff- I know it is a bit more expensive (I don't do a lot of PP) but I hate tearing paper out. I have used other types of paper & swear I'll never rip again. With the Stable Stuff it is a tear out or leave in product.

Do you mean "foundation" piecing, or "paper" piecing? There is a huge difference in them. You can use just about anything from comic books to deli-paper for foundation piecing. However, paper piecing requires you to print or trace a pattern onto paper, most usually done on your printer, so if you used phone book pages, you are going to have a hard time seeing your pattern lines to sew on.
