I've just started paper piecing. I took a class, love it and am hooked!!! It allows this impatient quilter to make some blocks I wouldn't usually attempt with regular piecing. It does seem to waste material though... :(
The question is...I used tracing paper, which I like because I can see through it. Does anyone know where I can get it cheaper than an office store (I went to Staples), and not bound into a pad? Its hard to rip it out, it wasn't 8 1/2 X11 so I had to trim it, and it has some of the sticky stuff left on top..makes it a little tough in the printer. HELP!!!!
I know I'll get a lot of suggestions from you all...Thanks in advance :D :D

I got some called June Taylor that says it is: transparent for easy fabric positioning, non-woven for clean tear-away, works in laser or ink-jet printers, or mark with any variety of marking pen. I haven't tried it yet though. I ordered a book of pp stars patterns and it hasn't come in yet. I've never done pp, so I hope this stuff works! I think it was $4 or so at JoAnn's for 25 sheets of paper.

I have heard some people using the rolls from the doctor's office for their examination tables.
I like using tracing paper myself. You can check your local dollar store to see if they have cheaper pads of tracing paper.
