Delivery included is a big plus for this store-avoider. It has pretty great reviews for foundation paper piecing. One product I may try in the future is this newsprint on Amazon Prime. I used the standard 40% off Hobby Lobby coupon for a higher priced item and therefore didn't get a discount on this tracing paper. If you'll notice (I didn't at the time), this isn't as good of a deal financially speaking, only getting about 13 pages to the dollar. It was from a kids drawing pad that she picked up at Hobby Lobby (in the kids art supply section), 100 pages for $1.99. Regular copy paper is more rigid and thicker to pin through.Īt a retreat at my friend Mandy's house, she was generous enough to let me use the paper she had on hand for foundation paper piecing. In my current project, I'm y-seaming the paper foundations after sewing the pieced sections. On the con side of things, when tearing away, the thickness can cause stress on my stitches even when using a shortened stitch length.

Another pro is that when tearing away, it usually rips off in fairly big chunks. One pro is that it's readily available and I typically have it at home. Let me back up just a tad: I have most often used regular copy or printer paper for foundation piecing. (Not really.)ĭo you still want to take advice from me? HA! Ruuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnn!įor those of you still reading, I wanted to tell you about my recent experimentation with using tracing paper for foundation piecing paper.
I consider having a working rotary blade "fancy". I once went something like 9 years without changing my rotary cutter blade whilst having a set of 5 replacement blades in a drawer. I'm a gal who enjoys using the materials I have and don't get "fancy" very often.īecause of this irritating characteristic, I tend to make things hard on myself.
