Great for paper piecing. So much easier to remove than other types of foundation papers. Worth the price.

I used this for card making. Easel cards with a vellum window so you can use a led tea light in behind the image. For example I used it in the fireplace area of an easel card.

I have used paper foundation for several years. This is the first time I've used vellum. Was a joy it is. It makes life so easy and is well worth the extra money, especially when making complicated item. So indulge yourself.

I ordered this paper, along with a ream of "Vellum Value Pack 8.5"X11" 50/Pkg-Clear" by Darice so that I could compare. The Simple Foundations pack only had 30 sheets and the other package I ordered had 50 sheets (so cheaper!). I want to say that they are both exactly the same. Same weight, so translucent color. Thought I would share because I'm sure someone out there was wondering if there might be another, less expensive, option. I do plan on keeping both packages, since I opened them up.

Might be too expensive for using all the time but as a first time paper-piecer I would recommend highly. It rips off material easily when using a small stitch. Very easy to trace through and use. I may use it all the time just to feel rich!

Yes, this is a nice translucent paper for art projects, and also, for calligraphy. It is very smooth, and has a nice slick feel. It is heavy enough to not wrinkle. It also makes nice translucent envelopes.

Although I have quilted for 20 years, I have never learned the technique of foundation piecing. This product was highly recommended by my Yahoo quilting group online, so I ordered a package of it and I have to say, it performed wonderfully. It went through my laser printer with no problem, sewed beautifully and no problems removing it from the quilt blocks once they were finished. It holds up well to the iron when pressing the parts of the block, and doesn't seem to cause any trouble with the sewing machine. I will definitely keep using this product!

I teach paper piecing classes and this vellum is my first choice for the patterns. The students prefer this paper to other types of foundation papers because they can see the placement of the fabric pieces before they sew. When printing, remove each page as it comes out of the printer and allow it to dry. There is slight ink smearing otherwise. Keep the stitch length smaller than normal to avoid stitches tearing out when you remove the paper.

Saw this product in one of my Craftsy quilting classes. Having been a paper piecer for 25+ years, I was interested. How wonderful to be able to draw/print foundations and be able to see sewing lines through the vellum for easier placement and more precise pre-cutting of patches. I think that this product may be too expensive for a large project - newsprint or very thin copy paper is almost as good - but if money were no object, I would use it exclusively. If money IS an object, buy one pack for use on really small or otherwise challenging pieces. You may get hooked!
