Connie,   I have used Carol Doak's papers, computer paper & newsprint to paper piece.  I prefer the newsprint since it is much thinner & fairly easy to remove.  You can find it at Hobby Lobby.  I have also bought Roselle Scribble & Rubbing Pad (100 sheets 9 X 12 inches) that I have cut down to fit my printer tray.  It's a bargain at $1.99 & even cheaper when you use a 40% coupon at Hobby Lobby.  This was in the kids craft section. Hope you find this information helpful.

2/11/12 @11 am MST, Hi Gwen, so glad you found that Craftsy classes are a good way to learn in the comfort of your home.  I, however, am having a rough time of it do to the fact we live so far OFF the grid, the lessons are so badly 'buffered' that it may take more than 2 hours to get 8 or 10 minutes of class, then that is in snipits, so it's hard to not get frustrated.  Craftsy has so many lessons on many different techniques that one could learn to master many & enjoy it at the same time.  I have found that Quilt University also has good & reasonable classes for learning.  I, will however, stick with the books to learn, as the internet is not easy where we live do to the signals being so intermittent. I even bought a program to enhance downloading, but that was not much of a help either.  Oh, well, will just have to carry on the best I can.  Have a great day, & enjoy the course.  BA

Connie,  One of  the quilt shop owners does the paper piecing and she uses Velum

all the time its thin and you  can put it thru the printer and you dont have to remove,  we are doing a 1/2 square triangle exchange and she printed the pattern on the vellum and I am loving it.

New to the group but I have done 3 quilts with paper piecing.  I find it very time consuming, but enjoyable and oh so accurate.  I DO like that.  Any ideas what paper to use?  I have only used the paper I can put through my printer and it works, but is definately NOT the best.  Is there anything else I can use that goes through a printer?  Thanks,  Connie

For my first paper piecing project, I checked out a book by Carol Doak from the library.  There is a site called Paper Panache that specializes in paper piecing.  They even have free patterns and mystery blocks to get you started.

I seen a book of paper piecing patterns and they made some really neat quilts. But I went back later to that store and ask if they had it, they did not and did not know what the title was. Just that it was an AQS book. Does anyone know of a book such as this. Sorry I have not given much to go on.

I am doing my first paper pieced quilt. It will be a gift for our new grandson. The pic at the left is the pattern I am using. I think it is a nice simple pattern to use for my first quilt.

Hi. My name is penny. I have decided my next project is going to be a paper pieced quilt. Just waiting for my instruction books to arrive. Looking forward to help form this group.
