For those of you who pp, what do you use for the papers? I see special pp papers are sold online but somehow I'm sure not everyone buys them. There are just too many beautiful pp blocks out there so I've got to learn how to do this. Any suggestions/help welcome. Thank you!

Generally I will use just 20# copy paper because it is handy. I have used vellum but it is a little more expensive but ever so much easier as it is basically see through. Some will suggest getting a "kids" pad from the dollar store and cut it to size for your printer. I have tried this a time or two but figured copy paper was just as cheap and definitely easier. I have a roll of chiropractor paper in a "safe" place. If I ever figure out where I put it, I will try it because it is soooo tissue paper like.
If you don't have an "Add a Quarter" ruler, I would highly recommend getting the 12" one. It can save so much frustration!
Reducing your stitch length is a must ... keeps stitches from coming out when you remove paper.
Carol Doak videos and her website has practice pieces...I learned strictly from her information....clear and easy to understand.

Thanks everyone for the comments on the quilt. I DO love it..put it on my bed and not sure I want to remove it! LOL
GOOD LUCK with the pp Janice. Ive tried and tried and just cant get the hang of it. I feel it wastes fabric more so than just regular piecing but Im sure I just dont know how to do it right! Show us your end results if you get the hang of it!
