Foundation papers

[idaho]

I have used this product from Beth Ferrier and C&T...easy to use for turned applique by machine. I found it to be soft
and providing slight extra filling under them... a little less full than Stable Stuff and it is fusible which is handy. I haven't
used it for paper piecing...I'm sure it would work tho' you'd have to work around the fusible.

Barbara, Annis suggested vellum tracing paper for paper-piecing. (see paper-piecing discussion for 2013 BOM). I have to tell you, it's changed life and with a 1mm stitch length, holds together with two stitchings :shock: and is extremely easy to tear away with no pickies in the corners.

You can also see through it for great placement. Just something to consider. It's a whole lot less expensive than Stable Stuff.

I had the same experience as Susan with the vellum. Until the current BOM, all my paper piecing had been done on generic printer paper. After doing about half the foundations for January, I tried the Office Depot vellum sheets mentioned by Annis in her post. They were much more user friendly than plain paper. They just don't leave the paper fragments behind like copier paper does.

I've recently used the EQ printable which says it can stay in the quilt. I liked the way it worked so far, tore out some of it, but not all, but I haven't washed it yet.

I wanted to order some of the Ricky Tims Stable Stuff which is very reasonably priced at $9.95 per pack but unfortunately the shipping to Ireland was $45!!! I am finding that the costs of shipping from the USA have become so prohibitive in the last year. Does anybody know of anywhere in Europe that I could get the Stable Stuff?

At $15.95 plus shipping for 25 sheets, that could get very expensive depending on the project. It's fusible on one side.

I got mine through Amazon for $8.36 from Beth Ferrier.
