Here's a...I also love foundation-paper piecing.<br />Here's a tip to save ink on your printer when you are repeating lots of identical blocks. I print about a tenth of the blocks I need (i.e. if I need 100, I print 10). I then staple about ten sheets from a bank-paper notepad to the back of each copy. (These notepads are lightweight paper, easily bought at newsagents.) The staples go where the final block is not and stay about an inch away from the design. Using an old sewing machine needle, not too small a stitch length and no thread in your machine, 'sew' along the lines. When you cut them out, cutting off the stapled bits, you will have perforated foundation papers that should peel away from each other. Ta da! The lightweight paper and perforations also make them really easy to tear away after you have sewn on your fabric.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-12402874594975254482013-06-11T16:48:22.711+10:002013-06-11T16:48:22.711+10:00So paper piecing can actually be done using normal...So paper piecing can actually be done using normal A4 paper?
