As a side note - I also do Foundation Paper Piecing backwards from most people.

I am using regular printer paper. That is probably my problem, but I don't know what else to use.Karen Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734789224833308727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944849701762024908.post-25217955280389687212012-01-31T15:55:50.319-05:002012-01-31T15:55:50.319-05:00I use very thin paper - a short stitch - and a lar...I use very thin paper - a short stitch - and a large needle - Jeans/Denim #14. The combination seems to perforate the paper very well - but doesn't help much with the tedium of actually removing the paper, sorry. ;))A Left-Handed Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145550105234839991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2944849701762024908.post-15399085575215921942012-01-31T07:31:53.305-05:002012-01-31T07:31:53.305-05:00I use the same stitch (1.5) and just regular print...I use the same stitch (1.5) and just regular printer paper - don't have any problem removing paper - it's just part of the process. And if you are just doing it one house at a time, it really isn't bad. I usually do 4 to 8 houses at a sitting.Vroomans' Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258050499246235109noreply@blogger.com
