Looking for Ideas on Paper Piecing paper
#11
Me Too Teresa! I have all my templates printed - 60 pages left give or take, so I think I'm going to keep on with what I have going and use all the techniques for regular copy paper and find the one that works best for this quilt! I would love to do one with vellum but agree... pricey... TY Everyone

I order reams of news print paper that fits right into my HP printer from Dick Blick. dickblick.com 500 sheets per ream for 3.59. I never have any problem with it jamming my printer and is very thin and tears of completely clean. I use it so often that I buy 4 reams at a time. Great Stuff and cheap!

I use lightweight translucent vellum. It's the best paper I've used for paper piecing. I looked online and found a paper supplier and ordered a ream of it. It's not the same vellum that I find in the scrapbooking dept.

I use the same thing as hooked (Carolyn). You can also get the Scribble Pads at Hobby Lobby & can save a little more money if you have their 40% off coupon. It only takes a few minutes to cut the pad down to 8.5 X 11. I have tried other papers, but always come back to this.

I always use freezer paper for templates. I have to attach a sheet of approximately 8 X 11 to copy paper first by hot iron at the bottom (just about 1/4" along the width)and a touch at the upper corners as my printer won't take freezer paper alone;now it will run through the printer. Then I use this method Twiddletails Freezer Paper Foundation Piecing:

No tearing away the paper and templates are reusable as long as the wax side sticks.

I use to use copy paper & Carol Doaks paper piecing paper, but since I have discovered Ricky Timm's "Stable Poly Stuff" that is all I use. It doesn't have to be removed, it remains in your quilt and washes up into a very light poly type batting. Also gives those paper piecing blocks more substance. If your looking for inexpensive, it's NOT. 50 sheets about $10. It's great that we all have such different choices.
